I need my local user to be able to save an XML document,

The 3 Methods I have discovered:  
1.)  
Using XML Sockets I can safely save to my local machine,  
The only problem is, that I have to set it up as a server, set policies, adjust the router and release the FireWall + set some Flash settings.  
2.)  
Publish the XML in a swf and ask the client to copy it into notepad.  
3.)  
Save it to the server, then smtp it back to the client as email.  
//  
I realise the difficulty with this must simply be security as we don’t want just anyone saving junk into our root directory etc.  
//  
But there must be a way I can have the user maintain a local copy of there work.

Thoughts please, or am I missing something here.:red:
