i already tried with php script to save in user desktop, but no proper solution i found. is this possible in javascript or jquery?

I'm not an expert, but Javascript same-origin policy make this impossible without a confirmation action by user.

Try something like :

<input type="file" id="fileinput" />

Then :

function readSingleFile(evt) {
                var f = evt.target.files[0];
                if (f) {  }

              }
document.getElementById('fileinput').addEventListener('change', readSingleFile, false);

Once f is opened, you just have to write in it =)
