As in the subject line, can I modify server-side files via Java Script?
If anyone of you is able to do so, please give me a hint, thanks a lot.

Client side JavaScript can't. That's the kind you put directly into your HTML files.
Server side JavaScript can. It is placed on the server and is run as a CGI.

Thank you, slicer69, I've tried to put server side JScript in the HTML page via <server> tag, but it couldn't be executed, what should I do? I use IE6.
