well... your message doesn't make much sense..
But the answer is no.
I think the word you're looking for is "transfer", not copy.
If you don't want to send the full-sized image and resize it on the
client's end (bandwidth and aliasing issues), you'll need to transfer
separate thumbnails. Of course, the thumbnails can be generated on the
fly (and cached on your server). Then when the client requests the
full sized ver, send them the full sized version.

What's the issue?
