you need to send the data to the server and then offer a link to download it. Here's a terrible example with jquery and php just to give you basic idea.

$.ajax({
    type: "post",
    url: "ajax.php",
    data: {
        type: "save",
        text: "this is some text you want to send"
    },
    dataType: "json",
    success: function(data){
        window.open(data["url"]);
    }
});

ajax.php

 "link",
            "url" => "http://yourserver.com/{$name}"
        ));
    }
