You didn't give any reasons why you prefer to do it in mc.  You can add a
wget command to the menu.  The mc manual describes the syntax of the menu.  
In particular, you may need to use %D - the directory name of the
unselected panel.

If you want to use the mc VFS to get the file, then you probably need to
modify the "copy" dialog to ask for the source file.  If it's a text file,
you can use "Open file..." in the editor.
