Thanks, I’ll look into FXP.
I’m not using GD for hosting and this is not a one-time thing. I’m finding I’m having to zip up and copy files from one site to another on a more frequent basis, so I wanted to be able to do it more directly.
I guess an FTP client that lets me simulate that would be almost as good — with two windows that look at two different FTP sites, and I can simply drag-n-drop or click to send a file from one to the other, and it handles the DL and UL invisibly.
All FTP clients I know of are only between another system and my local machine.

That's the direction I'd start looking at - Wikipedia has a list of FTP clients that support FXP: Comparison of FTP client software - Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_FTP_client_software#Protocol_Support>
