Yes you can transfer files between FTP servers without having to act as a proxy for the data.
It's called FXP and ftp server (many do) have to support it. You can read about FXP here and lftp (linux) and coreftp, flashfxp etc on windows.. Are clients you could
use for FTP-FXP.
If I recall the RFCs on the FTP protocol, this was what PASSIVE mode ftp was all about. From a single control station, you open the two connections and then tell them to pass data between them directly. I have seen this feature rarely used in this capacity however.
Using a simple FTP client you can easily set this up.
