If you're accessing the server through HTTP protocol, the client machine
_cannot_ write to the server. If it could, there wouldn't be a website in
the world that could stay online for longer than about 10 seconds, because
hackers would get in there and take them all down. The _only_ ways to write
to the server is to either ask the server to do the writing (back end
technology) or file upload (ftp).

Hope this clarifies;
