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

Is the other user on the same network with you. If you are using KDE in 
the Konqueror file manager, put in URL box or where it says /home/user, 
take that out and put in  fish://bob@192.168.1.0 (put the other user 
name and IP address to his box)
and it will display his /home/user/ Konqueror filemanager on your 
desktop and all you have to do is drag from your filemanager to his . If 
your use  Gnome I don't know what their filemanager will do, it's 
against my religion  to use gnome .

If you are using Gnome or KDE in Terminal as user type in  scp filename  
bob at 192.168.1.0://home/bob  (Where it says filename, put name of file 
you want to send , and as for user at his IP address://and his home 
directory. ).  To use this method be sure SSH is running in Services.

If the user is not on your network or across the Internet, you can use 
the SCP command as shown above, but you will have to get the user across 
the Internet to get his Internet IP address, to do that he has to open 
his browser and goto "getip.com"
(leave out Quotes) and at top left of browser page in Bold numbers, see 
his IP address, he must email that to you with his /home/user password. 
with SCP you can send him files all day.

If you want something more sophisticated check out Freenx for linux, 
it's on most distro software sources.
