JavaScript cannot directly write a file to a server, but if if your server is using PHP you can use this technology.

See PHP 5 File Create/Write[^]

You can then use AJAX XMLHttpRequest()[^] to call the PHP function

JavaScript

var function saveFile(fileName, xmlDocument) {
    var data = new FormData();
    data.append("fileName", fileName);
    data.append("content", xmlDocument);

    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.onreadystatechange = function()
    {
        if (xhr.readyState == 4 && xhr.status == 200)
        {
            alert(xhr.responseText); // UPDATE
        }
    };
    xhr.open('post', 'test.php', true); // Don't forget to change file name
    xhr.send(data);
}

PHP

<?php <br mode="hold" /?>if (!empty($_POST['data']))
{
    $fpath = $_POST['fileName'];
    $file = fopen($fpath, 'w') or die("Unable to open file $fpath");  // UPDATE
    $content = $_POST['content'];
    fwrite($file, $content);
    fclose($file);
    echo "The file " + $fpath " was saved.";
}
?>

This is just a small example without any error handling, so just use it as a starting point.
