Compiling the Applet

• Copy the Java source to a suitable Web directory.

• I will work in the directory:

  /home/http/html/users/dbc/examples/
  

on the host:

sirah.csit.fsu.edu

• Compile the applet source file in the usual way:

  javac FileDisplay.java
  

• Remember to make the class files world readable:

  chmod o+r *.class
  

Forgetting to do this will lead to many problems!

• To be sure, check the permissions using ls –l.
• Look at the directory using a Web browser (go to URL http:sirah.csit.fsu.edu/users/dbc/examples/). Can you see the class files? Will the browser let you save the class files?
