Providing you have write permission to the disk and the browser config is
correct I don't see why you couldn't use some ActiveX, the
Scripting.FileSystemObject is what you're after.  Full documentation
available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/

good luck!

> Or is it simply not possible to program this without some server side
