Do I need a signed applet for this?

Hi guys I'm fairly new to Java and need a little help...I have an applet that I would like to write a file on the web server not on the the users. Does this applet need to be signed or does it only have to be signed to write files on the users machine? Thanks. -Bradly
If you want to write the file to the server the applet was downloaded from, you don't need signed applet.Unsigned Applets can contact only server they were downloaded from.

An Applet only needs to be signed if it's going to:- load other classes- access the local file system- load objects from somewhere other than the Web server that the Applet came fromAnd probably some more but I forget.
