Subject: java applets and security
I realize that under normal circumstances, applets cannot access files
on a clients computer. However I have seen applets that request
permission from the user to access their files. I was wondering how
this is done.
My situation is this...I am trying to open a FileInputStream for the
client to send files to my server. I am trying to make it as usable as
possible. I would rather not make them use FTP or Email to send files
because novice computer users may find it too complicated.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
