Since flash player can't write to their hard drive you have to simulate a download, or actually perform an upload of your data to the server, and then a download of it.
I know some people who have made an echo service - basically you post filename "somefile.txt" and filedata "this is the data you wrote to this file" and the server simply gives you a download with that filename and data. I could give you some code if I know your back end environment.
