How can I make an HTML or Javascript dropbox that allows users to submit data via ftp?

I'm trying to make a page for my site that allows users to fill out a form and submit the information so that whatever they submit goes to a folder on my desktop. I was thinking that however I did this it would probably involve ftp but I was hoping that there was a way to do this without going into PHP or making users get an ftp client :p. Does anyone know how I can do this?

For that to work, your desktop would have to be turned into a server, and people would be accessing it with basically no security. It's probably harder to do that write a form and a php script.

I suggest you set up a html form with a php back end and have the data emailed to you.
