Applet-Servlet - Creating a new file on client's mashine

Question

Hi all!
I need to write a program, that will get a data from client through Applet text fields and save it to a new(or rewrite existing) file on client mashine. To save it, I want to use Servlet, because Applet can't do this because of security restrictions. So I think of sending data from Applet to Servlet, which will save it in a new file (will download this file back to the client's mashine).
I found the following code in forums to download a file from server to client:
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class OutputFileOnBrowser extends HttpServlet {
public void service(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
res.setContentType("application/x-filler");
res.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=out.fif;");
ServletOutputStream stream = res.getOutputStream();
BufferedInputStream fif = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("in.fif"));
int data;
while((data = fif.read()) != -1)
stream.write(data);
fif.close();
stream.close();
but I don't understand, does it automatically downloads the file out.fif to client's disc and in what path? I tried it, and it did nothing. Anyway, this code doesn't fit exactly my purpose, because I have first to create the file.
Could anybody help me please?
Thank you in advanse!
P.S. I've already wrote the Applet code, what I need now is o n l y the help with a Servlet part!
Best regards.

Thanks, but I want not client but servlet save the file automatically in a given path on client's mashine. Is there any way to do that?
Thanks.
