Try this code in a method and execute,

NSURL *url=[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki"];

NSData *dbFile = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url];   

NSString *resourceDocPath = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:[[[[NSBundle mainBundle]  resourcePath] stringByDeletingLastPathComponent]stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents"]];

NSString *filePath = [resourceDocPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Text_file.txt"];  

[dbFile writeToFile:filePath atomically:YES];
