browser limitations. You can never access the filesysem from JS to write a file — NiRUS, Feb 27 '16 at 14:28
As noted above, only the user can choose where to save the file; you do not have control over it with JavaScript. — Dimitris Karagiannis, Mar 13 '16 at 03:16

This is not possible by javascript/jquery. Javascript cannot exert any control over visitor's file system.

It is a limitation and only user can manually change it from browser.
