lol neither is possible, that would be a huge security risk if it was possible, that would mean sites would be able to download viruses into your startup folder and steal your personal details.
You can "force download" of a file by setting some headers (note: the save/open dialog is still shown).
The only way to upload a file to the server is with <input type="file"> or an active-x control. With an input file the user still has to agree to sending the file, and active-x controls are not the best option because you can pretty much guarantee IE6 would not like it. To upload files in ASP you also need to install a component on the server, in asp.net you can do it in 1 line of code without any components needing to be installed.
