Depends on the programming language and its environment.

If its running on your local computer, yes, under certain limitations.
If its a Windows based IE, you can use the FileSystemObject to read
files from the local drive and then save them, with security permission
given.
If you want to read/write files on a server, you can read them with an
HTTPRequestObject but JS has no ability to write files on a server, you
have to do that on the server.

Depends on where the files are. Whether they are on the users computer
or on the server. The FileSystemObject ActiveX in MSIE on a PC can do
that. Search MSDN.
