But it's still a google question... Policy files are quite common and very well documented, you can all find it there. Here's some example code that demonstrates the usage of FilePermission http://javaalmanac.com/egs/java.security/File.html (guess what: found with google!) for specific dirs. If that doesn't help, you could try to let policytool build the policy file for you...
