Is it possible to transfer data directly from one user to another user's desktop?

So you want to copy the file /home/user1/some_document to the home 
directory of user2. You can do it in a terminal with these commands:

sudo cp -i /home/user1/some_document /home/user2
sudo chown user2 /home/user2/some_document

Note: I used the "-i" option for the cp command because the you will be 
asked if you want to overwrite the file in /home/user2 if it exists 
already.

That can be done the same way but it depends on your email program and 
it's settings where you can find the data.
