Hey Dave,
For me, no. I use it to manage forms on multiple sites - but most of the forms I use are just direct submit forms. But people who needed API forms they'll be stuck with installing it on each site. Not great, I agree. But unfortunately, there's really no way around it - the API directly connects with the FT database, which couldn't be done remotely (at least, not easily without implementing some sort of web service or something...).
But with regard to file uploads, this actually shouldn't be a problem. I just tried uploading a form from one site to a Torm Tools installation on another site and it was submitted fine.
