If the client's machine has ftp server running, then the file can be ftped
to that server to the specified folder. You can get the ip of the requested
user from the http request header.
I don't know how far this works, but its just an idea.

Subject: AW: Help:How to save file on client's side
Hi Tiana,
First: how does the servlet kwnow in what machine it has to
save the file?
Second: not local servlets may have restrictions to file and
network access.
That means it is impossible to write a file in the client�s
machine, if you
don�t have permission to do so.
That�s all I kwnow.
