By default, applets downloaded over the net (any applet loaded with an http
URL) are considered untrusted and can't read or write files.

See http://java.sun.com/sfaq for a description of restrictions placed on
untrusted applets.

There are two ways for an applet to be considered trusted

1) it's installed locally, on the same disk where
the JDK is installed
2) it's signed - see http://java.sun.com/security/signExample
