[Avid-L2] Copying files on a Mac using a network logged in computer?

I have 2 fw 800 drives hooked to my MacPro SNDC editing computer.  I can log into the edit computer from my Macbook Pro laptop.  Once logged in as the administrator I get access to all the drives mounted on the edit computer FW 800 and SanMP volumes.  If I wanted to copy from one FW 800 to the other FW 800 and I use the laptop to initiate the copy would that ease any burden on the MacPro edit computer?  Would all the data then have to go over the ethernet to my laptop then back over ethernet to the edit computer then back to the destination FW 800 drive?  I guess the root of my question is when copying data on a mac is the os just a traffic cop or does it get involved like a sobriety check point, which I finally went through last week only 9 years to late for them to catch me.
