Read file from URL and save to FTP

Question

Hi,
I have worked in java few years back, now I am out of touch. My friend asked me to create an applet program for him which he can use to download a file from remote location to his ftp server.
For e.g.
File
http://www.demo.com/filename.avi
Saved to
ftp://username:password@ftpsite_address/foldername
I was searching for the classes which I can use to achieve this functionality.
To save to FTP
URL url = new URL("ftp://username:[email protected]/folder/filename");
URLConnection urlconnection = url.openConnection();
long l = urlconnection.getContentLength();
OutputStream outputstream = null;
outputstream = urlconnection.getOutputStream();Using the above code I can get the outputstream to which I can write.
I am now stuck here, have some doubts.
What all classes should I use to read a file like
http://www.demo.com/filename.avi
I know I can use URL to open connection to URLS and then streams to read the url.
I am interested in knowing the class which I should use to read any type of file. File can be zip/avi/rar or anything else.
What all method of the class should I use to read the file which will support all type of files.
Which classes should I use to write the files. The files are going to be huge in terms of size.
I have searched everywhere but every place different classes are used.
Any help is appreciated.

Ok now I have started coding but facing a problem.
[PHP]try {
     URL url = new URL("http://url_to_file/test.txt");
     URLConnection urlconnection = url.openConnection();
     long l = urlconnection.getContentLength();
     fTextArea.append("Content Length = " + l);
     BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
     String line;
     while ((line = in.readLine()) != null)
          fTextArea.append("\n"+line);
     in.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
fTextArea.append(e);
return;

When I run this code locally it works fine but when run in browser it shows security exception
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission site:80 connect,resolve)
What should I do to resolve this error. Sorry for being such a noob but do not have much info about this.
