Local resources like the hard drive are not accessable from applets
without first having the applet be signed and then having it ask for
access rights and having the user grant them.
Now, you can scan the directory on your server via HTTP (or other
protocols your server may support) but you can only get back to
your own server this way (or at least you should only be able to get
back to your own server - that is part of the security)
