Yan Yo, You can't, and you shouldn't be able to inspect a computer's file folders on a computer connected to a web server. Imagine what mischief you could do! The best bet is to put some clear instructions on the screen about noticing where the file is being saved. But even then, it's complicated to give step-by-step instructions, because each browser is different. Firefox, Safari, and Chrome all have buttons or menu choices to go see your "downloads", but it's not easy in MS Internet Explorer.
