HTML drag/drop - how to set the filename of an *outgoing* drag (to desktop)

Question

I\'m trying to make it so a user can drag an icon from the web browser to their desktop, and a text file is created. I\'ve got the content part down, but I can\'t figure out how

Answer 1

You can use the .innerHTML of an element to set the name of linked file

  
Drag out any of these links to your dekstop
  file.txt    

where file.txt is a local file dragged into file manager at *nix os which creates a Link to file.txt.
