On a Linux server, a web page lets users enter items to an order
sheet. When they finish, (besides the mysql db updates) the order data
is emailed to the user as confirmation, a copy is emailed to the
fulfillment people, and two files are written for pickup by a third
party, in the third party's directory.

Because the files are owned by apache, the third party cannot delete
them, even when they are chmod'ed to 777. I tried to chown() the files
to the third party's user, but no go.
