There’s no purely client-side solution using only a browser and jQuery, no. You either have to involve a web server (and even then, the user has to handle the “save file” dialog box), or a “thick” technology like Flash or a signed Java applet. (In either case, the user would have to grant the permissions to do it; most users being somewhat — and appropriately — paranoid, you’d have to already have a relationship with them.) Even the new File API, which offers limited access to the local file system (with the user’s permission), doesn’t support writing files.
You can open a window with the file data in it, but then the user has to take the action of saving it to disk.
