Angela,
It is a little difficult to answer your question with the amount of information provided. There are several ways to connect to a server and pass information back and forth. However, I don't know of any that you can implement with just one method call.
One thing you could try is use sockets.
Here is a brief overview: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/sockets/index.html
and a simple example here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/sockets/readingWriting.html
If this is not what you had in mind, let us know.
Hope this helps.

Hi Stephanie Grasson

Any method you think. I never used any method. If you give me an applet example in which i click on Button, i can get connection to server and request the file. Which method i have to use to make request to server..
Let me know
Thanks again

Angela,
Here is an example of an applet with a TextArea and a Button. The user can enter the url of the file on the server that want to access in the TextArea. When they click the button, the applet will try to go there:
import java.applet.*; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import java.net.*; public class ShowPage extends Applet { Label siteLabel; TextArea theSite; Button go; Label warning; public void init() { siteLabel = new Label("Enter desired url here:"); add(siteLabel); theSite = new TextArea("http://www.javaranch.com"); add(theSite); go = new Button("Go Now"); go.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){ public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){ linkTo(theSite.getText()); } }); add(go); warning = new Label(); add(warning); } /** * Method allows us to jump to other web pages. * * @param String representing the URL of the page to which we * want to jump. * * @return True if we succeeded in jumping to the other page, * otherwise, false. */ private boolean linkTo(String theURLString) { try { URL theURL = new URL(theURLString); getAppletContext().showDocument(theURL, "_top"); // getAppletContext().showDocument(theURL, "_blank"); } catch(MalformedURLException e) { warning.setText("Bad URL: " + theURLString + "\n"); return false; } return true; } }
Is this what you meant? I was not sure. Please let us know.

Hi Stephanie Grasson,
I really appreciate your response.
I am sorry I didn't explain properly.
Let me write down my need.
I have server with socket number 8080.I want to write one code in way (Applet), that client make connection to server port 8080 and can request any HTML file from server.
So do we need to use GET and POST or other methods.
Please let know by applet example
Thanks again,
Regds,
