Description
is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When transferring files between two online services, it can take much longer than theoretically necessary due to needing to first download the files from one service, and then upload them to another.
Describe the idea / solution you'd like
Allow 'uploading' a file by providing a URL, which copyparty would then download directly from, without the file ever passing through the machine of the user initiating this action. I.E., the user simply pastes a URL like https://example.com/file
, and copyparty downloads the file located at that URL.
Describe any alternatives you've considered
Naturally there's always the option of the user downloading the file themselves, then uploading it to copyparty, however this is liable to take orders of magnitude longer, particularly since consumer internet service (in America, at least) often provides drastically lower upload bandwidth than download.
