Even if it were client side, you couldn't do this. Or at least shouldn't be
able to. I certainly don't want my web browser being able to write content
to my HD from a web site.

You need to stop and think for a minute...

Imagine a browser allowing a website to have write access to the client
machines' hard disk...

You could create an ActiveX control

This is not possible by default because of security concerns.
The only way you could do such a thing is if you had a thick client with the
proper permissions.
An ActiveX control would be the most likely solution.
