Is there any possibility to download a file to some remote machine which has ftp, ssh, nfs access. What I mean is that it doesn't have to go through the machine from which the download is issued.

if it has ssh, you can always ssh the remote machine, and execute the following command to download a file directly to that machine

wget <link_of_file_to_download>

for example, to download a tux picture whose link i know into a server of mine, i would do the following commands

ssh user@myserver

wget http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/35/Tux.svg/170px-Tux.svg.png
