I do think you are splitting hairs here. If I am on a server trying to use what I think is an inbuilt function (ftp) to copy, download or file transfer (use what ever name you like to apply) a file to that server or copy, upload or ftp a file to another server, they are all the same thing.
I didn't mention ftpserver which is what I would have asked if I was trying to do it from my PC or workstation.
