the web server should not, and likely will not have direct write level access to the "local" (requesting client) machine. If that's what you're talking about.

You would have to run a script on your local computer to download the invoices. I've done something similar to this when making a backup script.

Although I had to manually press the 'download' button from a webpage on my local machine, im sure it could be automated.

PHP does not have access local machines. Can you imagine the potential security flaws if this were possible?
