People,

We need to write an applet that will transfer a file, selected by the
client, from the client's machine to the server from which the applet
was launched.

Can this be done without the user having to edit the security policies
on their machine? I saw a Finjan demo, where, as far as I could tell, a
dialog box popped up, asking the user if it was okay to perform the
requested action: no other configuration seemed to be required.

The steps you outline in http://java.sun.com/security/signExample/
section 3 require the user to do rather more work than I'd like, even
for an extranet environment.

I can assume that the user has installed the latest plug-in.

Your help would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks in anticipation,

--Jonathan Allin
