You cannot write files to server's filesystem from applets
executed on clients, it is clear. But I think it can be done
by one of three ways:
1) applet can call a servlet to save the file
2) applet can call CGI program to save the file
3) applet can use HTTP method PUT to store the file to WWW server
PUT method is not implemented by all WWW servers, I know
Netscape Enterpise server supports it.
I think the easiest way for you will be to call a CGI
program.
