This is a common problem in all systems, actually.  Think about dragging
a file out of an FTP client or out of a browser into the local file
system.  The usual solution is to open some kind of IPC connection and
transfer the file contents.  When you have a (common) file name there
are more options, but the most important stuff works even so.
