  Hi,
  

  
  Grateful for any one for the help :
  

  
  Problem Statement :
  

  
  To write a small Java / Javascript code which will allow a browser user to save/retrive MS Office Documents such as Word, XL, PPT files from a remote http server.  
  

  
  You can think of a typical Unix environment where users save and work in the server in their respective Home directories.. the only difference here is that the client is a browser and server is a web server.
  

  
  The server doesnt support IIS and supports JAVA and Javascript.  Any help please..
  

  
  Thanks in advance,
  

  
  Satheesh.

  erm, not quite sure what you mean, how does what you want to do differ from the person just clicking a link to download the file? or have i completely misunderstood what you've said?
  

  
  something like
  

  
  <a href ="aworddocument.doc">click here</a> would do that, without any javascript.....
  

  
  elaborate and i'll help if i can

  Pretty much the only way to do this to create an FTP site to store your files.  Then write a front end that will download and upload your files.  Browser security will not all you to randomly get a file, and upload it.  It all has to go through a managed FTP resource.  
  

  
  If FTP is out of the question you can get forms through simple HTTP calls then use ASPUpload or something to upload your file.
