IS there any way to write to a text file using an applet?
I know one option that is by using a cgi script an applet can write to a text file existing inside a webserver is there any other ways for performing this task?

thanks in advance,
regards
Sunil

It is normally prevented by the java security manager.
Unless you are willing to pay several hundred dollars for a developer certificate from Thawte or Verisign to digitally sign your applet, you are not going to be able to do it directly with an applet.
Programs set up on a server such as a cgi program, php script, java servlet, or jsp page can easily do those things.

Applets are expressing designed NOT to.
