Import["http://full-path-here/file.m";]

does the trick.

Depending on the host server settings, it might bring up a dialog asking 
for a username and password on the host when you Import. I just now 
tried it on my university web space and was asked for username/password 
when I imported the test file, but when I posted it on another 
(non-university) server where I have web space, I was able to import the 
file without supplying username/password.
