You can download data, but you can't save anything to the local file system with javascript. This is impossible.

I created an excel file via javascript, but when I need to save it the only option is to have the user open the download window and download the file. I, on the other hand, would like the file to simply be stored in a folder in my project, without the user having the option to download the file.
How can I do this? Thank you
You don't provide enough information but seems that you are doing it on the client side (i.e. a browser), which, in principle, does not have access to the file system on your computer/server.
You should try some Back-end approach, like, in your case with JavaScript: Node.js, or maybe anothers like Python or PHP.
I have a JS code which should download a file and need to open that corresponding file. I'm able to download it but need a JavaScript code to open the recently downloaded file from any browser.
Answer is No.
Why :
When user download file into his local file system then downloaded file became a part of users file and as you know you can't access any file/directory from users local file system.
Alternative solution :Yes
Download file using XmlHttpRequest (AJAX) into blob object help link
Open file from saved blob object.
in above alternative solution You can also allow use to save file(download file).
How can I make an HTML page and have it do a silent(!!) download of a file to a path on my Windows machine?
I want that, as soon as my Windows computer goes to this web page, it to automatically download the file of my choosing from my server to C:\Program Files, for example. This would be all on my private network.
So my aim is, if I have a file called target on the server, to download it to C:\Program Files, all through this webpage.
How can I accomplish this?
I have something like the following in mind:
Download Here
$('a').click... //Some jquery to download the file
I'd prefer to do it just with HTML and Javascript, since I'm not so fluent in jQuery.
Thanks in advance guys :)
Server image should be download in a local client machine in a particular path
using javascript or jquery.
Is there any way to download the image in a particular path where we cannot use server side script?
With only js and jquery it is not possible. Maybe with a browser extension it can be possible. But with js and jquery you dont have ability to write local machine.
Is it possible to upload a file from a local machine to the same local machine using JavaScript and/or server technology? The scenario was I had to get a image file from local , do manipulations/ cropping and then save it on that local machine. my website is hosted in another country.
You would need to upload the file to your server, using a normal file upload. After you have performed the manipulations you would provide a link for the user to download the file.
You cannot force the download back to local storage, the user has to accept the download.
Just use ImageMagick on the file itself, most hosting servers support it.
Maybe this helps:
