Hi Niles
Sorry, I don't have a satisfactory answer, not for Moodle 2.x.
The other day I was faced with the same problem. I had to restore a big course backup in my Moodle server. The backup file was in a (different) ftp server. But downloading it to my local machine and uploading to back in to the Moodle server was not an option, I am on holidays in a remote place and my whacky mobile internet connection wouldn't have allowed it, even if I raised the file upload limit. Luckily it was Moodle 1.9. I logged into the Moodle machine over SSH and did the following:
$ cd /path/to/moodledata/1
$ wget ftp://the.host.name/path/to/backup-something.zip
Then logged into Moodle as admin restored the backup into a new course.
How does one do that in Moodle 2.x? Should this work http://docs.moodle.org/21/en/File_system_repository#Creating_folders_for_your_file_system_repositories ?
