That's something that I've wanted to do, from time to time, give a file
to someone else.  You can become root, if you're allowed, and chown it.
Or you can copy the file to some mutually accessible place, and let them
copy it to their own space.  The latter seems the best, but cumbersome.
I can't think of another way, off the top of my head.
