It can't be done that easily. If you have SSH access on the machine with the FTP you can use wget to download the file from the webserver and place it on your own site/ftp.
The easiest way to do it is using FXP (File Exchange Protocol). If you are on a dedicated server or vps then you shouldn't really have any problem at all in using it, try contacting your server support to assist you in fxp. But if you are in shared hosting, then most probably you won't be able to do it as most of the shared hosting providers don't support this to protect users from abusing.
The only way I can think of is by using a script URL upload, this way you can upload from a link to your site without downloading it to your local machine, there are plenty scripts out there that can do what you are looking to do, and since this would be for personal use you can also setup a password protection on accessing the script.
