Yes, it is. The user connects to both servers using PASV, tells one he is 
doing an upload, and one he is doing a download, and directs the server's 
data channels to speak to each other rather than though him.

FXP has been in wide use for at least a few years now, at least in the 
communities that tend to transfer large binaries around frequently, *hint 
hint* :P
