Although I'm unsure of why this might be an ethical question if the user
knows it's occurring.
It is definitely possible to write to a file. You need to take into
consideration a few things:
Is the server Unix/Linux or Windows or Mac?
Are many people going to be using this program and could they write
simultaneously to the file?
If so you will have to program some type of file locking scheme to
prevent file corruption.
Decide which language to use; both PERL and Java can do the job.
If this is supposed to be secure information, then place the file
somewhere out of the reach the server program; i.e.. Iplanet, Apache, etc.
You should probably consider some encryption ideas or a secure
database.
These aren't direct answers, but rather considerations that might change
your plans.
Regards.
