Ah, well, that's a pretty important piece of missing information.

The question is what the server is doing to make its local resources
available to remote clients. Networked file systems? FTP? HTTP
PUT and GET operations? A custom servlet?

If the server is providing some way for remote clients to access files,
then applets can access files on the server - just like any other
client. Some techniques (like HTTP PUT and GET) are doable without
requiring additional permissions outside the sandbox, others may require
granting special permissions on the client side.
