Don't confuse internet with local network setup, however basically the same network connection you would need to use the Internet or a calibre server would be needed to use ftp. These days, you find very few networked computers that are not also connected to the Internet. A couple of years back, I set up a network with 5 computers and a server which were not connected to the Internet due to security concerns. My personal opinion was that unless they improved their physical security (*), the CSO was in for disappointment but their cheque cleared so no complaints on my part.
* On most lists of the laws of computer security, you will find a line that reads to the effect that if someone has physical access to your computer, it's not your computer anymore. AKA the rich janitor rule.
