The way remote-to-remote FTP xfers are performed is with a combination of
PASV/PORT commands. One remote machine is sent the PASV command and it
responds with an IP/Port combo, then you take that combo and feed it to
another remote machine with a PORT command. So if any one of those FTP
servers support PASV (and its enabled) you can do remote-to-remote, does not
matter what the exact FTP server software is.
Firewall rules may prevent you from using PASV on one of the servers, so you
can always try it the other way around -- use PASV with another server.

Cheers!
Alex.
