If the another user use the same unix box as yours then you can use cp command to copy.If the user is on another system you can use ftp or rcp

You can use rsync or scp also!
Let us consider the machines as "box1" and "box2", and i also assume that you have read/write permissions on those boxes for the corresponding users.

scp box1:/home/staff/sec/seccom box2:/home/proj/06/sectataj

Hope this works! Try 'man'ning more on rsync and scp ! Good Luck.
