I apolagize if this question has been asked before, but I was looking to see how I would go about writing an editor that saves the file on a server instead of on the harddrive. I would appreciate any and all help.

hmm i think theres a number of ways to go about such a problem, such as creating the file and sending it to the server, or create a generic http request, that is validated on the server that then runs a java program in tomcat. Im not 100% sure since iv never attempted such a program. Here is a link explaining how to upload a file using http, http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=62798 , creating a similar method to upload information and then generate the file using a serverlet shouldnt be too difficult. So id recommend looking into serverlets.
