Perspective, yes. Well, I did not realize it was trying to save it on the gateway, but one way or another I would like to get that file to the user's computer. So, are there any functions that save to the user's local hard drive?

Or, how would I get files saved to the gateway to my computer without having to have some sort of admin access?
