How to make Drupal upload pasted links to .doc files from the internet Let's say I have a Drupal website and I want there a function that would work like this:
Paste an URL to a .doc file, so on submit Drupal downloads that file, uploads to its local server and generates a link to download from the website.

I was wondering if this needs custom coding or can this be achieve with a module?
Can be achieved with Filefield Sources module.


  FileField Sources is an extension to the FileField module. The FileField module lets you upload files from your computer through a CCK field. The FileField Sources module expands on this ability by allowing you to select new or existing files through additional means, including:
  
  
  Re-use files by an auto-complete textfield
  Attach server-side files uploaded via FTP
  Transfer files from a remote server (cURL required)
  Paste a file directly from the clipboard (Drupal 7 only)
  Select existing files through the IMCE file browser
