I decided to develop a java applet to transfer files to a ftp server. I have no java experience but using stuff from the web and using NetBeans IDE for development, I came resonably close. Here is the code I used.
/*

package chalaka;
import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.applet.Applet;
//public class NewApplet extends java.applet.Applet
public class FileUploadDemo extends Applet {
//public static void main(String[] args) {
public void init(){
FTPClient client = new FTPClient();
FileInputStream fis = null;
try {
client.connect("salpadoru.com");
client.login("cataloguserftp", "NuranMehara01");
//
// Create an InputStream of the file to be uploaded
//
client.changeWorkingDirectory("c:/temp/");
String filename = "Touch.dat";
fis = new FileInputStream(filename);
//
// Store file to server
//
client.storeFile(filename, fis);
client.logout();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
if (fis != null) {
fis.close();
}
client.disconnect();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
This runs fine well run within the IDE but when I put this in a HTML, it gives following errors:
Java Plug-in 1.6.0_16

Please help, thank you. see the HTML below:

*** GENERATED applet HTML launcher - DO NOT EDIT IN 'BUILD' FOLDER ***
If you need to modify this HTML launcher file (e.g., to add applet parameters),
copy it to where your applet class is found in the SRC folder. If you do this,
the IDE will use it when you run or debug the applet.
Tip: To exclude an HTML launcher from the JAR file, use exclusion filters in
the Packaging page in the Project Properties dialog.
For more information see the online help.
