Basically you are stuffed. The security settings of Applets prevent them from saving files. It will only run as an application.

Well, that isn't strictly true. You should be able to open a TCP link back to your server so if you have some code running on the server to accept the data you can save the file remotely. A Java applet is not allowed to write to the local disk.
