Do you mean how to save the HEX image?
That is, using PICStartPlus programmer select EEPROM memory, read and save as HEX.
Using the ICD select view EEPROM, and there is an option to save this as an image (I can't remember the file extension).

Do you mean a stand alone EEPROM?

You need to explain what tools you are using, what device, etc.

I am using Pic18F452.

I want to save my binary file to External I2C eeprom.
I wish to save the file without using EEProm programmer.
i know there are people use pic and RS232 (XMODEM protocol) to transfer file to EEPROM.
somebody even use FTP protocal to transfer the file, provided his pic got the tcp/ip.

I wonder, is there any simple way to do it?

The simplest way is to hang the eeprom onto 2 of the LPT port pins and create a QB program to tranfer the data from your file to the eeprom.
This works for any PC running DOS, win98 etc.
Check the web for paralle port I2c programming, bound to be a few hits.
