you can't do predone files, probably the best you can do is make a text file on a users machine and then ftp it to your server

Thus having many text files on your server

That makes absolutely no sense... but I'd assume then, that you want your players to be able to send info to your server... simply run an ftp server and you can use my above mentioned method

Server-side ASP has some features too. Look up the 'FileSystemObject' object.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself
