The trouble is, the Documents folder is where the HTML pages and LiveCode scripts reside, so I think that is a security concern. Pierre Sahores recommended putting any data folders I create inside WebServer/share/httpd, so I have to figure out the file path to get them there. The folder named share is at the same level as Documents.

Something like this should work then:

put "foo" into url "file:../Share/httpd/myfile.txt"

Just use .. to backtrack up the directory structure from the default folder.
