It depends upon the protocol being used by the serving server?

If it is a protocol the browser understands--http, ftp etc--then you can send a redirect to the browser and have it contact the remote server directly.

With ftp, it is possible for a third party (client) to initiate a direct (PASV) transfer between two ftp servers. I'm not sure if it is possible for the third party client to initiate a PASV treansfer from a server to another client?
