I have most of my music hosted on an FTP server, so I'm looking for a way to drag and drop from the FTP server (connected either through Finder, or any other client) into iTunes, and then have iTunes copy the music to my library. That way I don't have to download it to my local HDD, then import into iTunes, then delete the orginal. Just skipping a ton of extra work if I can drag and drop. Currently, I only get disconnected from the server if I try to drag and drop from Finder, and get nothing from Filezilla, and Transmit.

Any ideas how I can do this? It would be AMAZING if I could save the hassle!
 
I don't believe this is possible. Finder is a frontend for Apple's FTP implementation, but iTunes doesn't access files through Finder. iTunes doesn't support FTP, so you'll have to copy them to a local folder prior to import.
