Hi, that would nice indeed!
However, most CAT tools providers do not facilitate this at all to keep people using their -and only their if possible- services.
So you're basically stuck with the options of online CAT tools (my favourite for a very long time is Wordfast Anywhere, it does TM/Glo and file sharing and TMS too).
Or sticking to a hybrid online/desktop solution like memoQ or Trados have.
As John Di Rico mentioned, the only TM/Glo server that allows you to connect to it in any shape or form is Wordfast Server. It now supports calls with the http protocol which means that any developper can create a connector for it in a day's work.
If you want to test it, DM me. I run a Wordfast Server myself for my customers.
