NOOB Q: transferring between remote servers

Hello all. Love SmartFTP... it's always worked great for me.

By way of intro on my post #1: I'm a web dsnr guy in Florida, and also a semi-pro musician. Brainy by day, mental case by night.

Okay, on to business. I've tried a couple of times to open two connections to separate FTP servers I have full permissions to, and copy files directly from one server to the other. Like when you have to move large files around between servers to take advantage of available space. Well, it doesn't work... it times out on me. I always have to copy local, then copy back up to the other. And because my Upstream connection is slower, it's a pain with large files.

Is this a supported funtction with FTP? Is it supported with SmartFTP? Am I dreaming too big? What do I have to do to make it go?

Thanks for help.

Yours,
Amado

Here's a follow-up and bump:

I've gone thru the tutorial on transferring directly from one remote server to another, and performed the steps exactly as described/shown in the tutorial. Still doesn't work for me. Someone's timing out, I don't know why.

Thx in adv for help.

Yours,
Amado
