Hi,
Humm, I said applet can ONLY establish port connections via sockets at
the server from wich it comes. If at that ports are listening server-side
programs that let applet indirectly read and/or write files, then that
is more a server-side than applet story.
To be more specific, applet can not use OS calls (by opening java.io.File-s)
to access files on the server it originates. That's because the
applet does not run on the server.
