Hi,

My name is Akash and am a java developer (applet
development). I have a confusion. The Security FAQ
says that I can access files on the client's local
hard disk for reading/writing if these permissions
are specified in the access control list. But this is
only for Appletviewer and not applets running thru
browser.

But, there is also news about accessing files on
client's local hard disk thru signed, certified
applets for applets running on either a browser or an
appletviewer.

Help me answer the following doubts:
1) Can I access local files using JDK1.1 for applets
running on browsers?
2) If yes, how and on what browsers? Netscape and
Internet Explorer versions.

This information is critical to my project. I have
gone thru the dcumentation on java, sun, netscape
sites but got confused.

Looking forward to your reply. (Please answer it thru
the email itself)

Thank
Akash
