There is a web services call you can execute against the iServer (via the IDAPI) called "DownloadFile". This will allow you to export any file from the iServer volume and save it to a locally-accessible disk. 
 
Is that what you need to do?

Hi,
I have the same problem. Can you help me by giving sample code how to use exec.downloadfile()?
Thanks...siva

The documentation on building IDAPI applications that interact with iServer is located here: http://www.birt-exchange.com/be/documentation/R11SP3/mc/help/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm#href=serverapi/about-USIT.html

In addition, under your iServer installation (assuming you have iServer iTech installed), there are tons of examples of downloading files there.
