This is the exact problem (sorry my original mail was ambiguous). The
site is currently on clubi's servers and I want to transfer it to a
new webhost (not under my control). I obviously want to avoid
downloading 2.5Mb of miscellaneous gifs and html files over a dodgy
phone line and 28.8 modem and then re-uploading to new host. I have
done this in past with w3mir and weex (a sitecopy clone) and its a
real pain.

I remember seeing this kind of function on Windows FTP clients (I
don't think I ever actually got it to work).
Any way I can get the ftp client to open up connections to the two
servers simultaneously but it looks like they've disabled these kind
of transfers:
ftp> proxy get foo.gif
local: foo.gif remote: foo.gif
212.67.201.76:200 Type set to I.
212.67.201.76:227 Entering Passive Mode (212,67,201,76,4,209).
web-3.via-net-works.ie:200 Type set to I.
web-3.via-net-works.ie:500 Illegal PORT Command
ftp> proxy put foo.html
local: foo.html remote: foo.html
212.67.201.76:227 Entering Passive Mode (212,67,201,76,4,210).
web-3.via-net-works.ie:500 Illegal PORT Command
Ah well
