I have a Java applet which is using the Apache commons.net API for FTP. I initially ran the applet without signing it, and it threw a

SocketException : Software caused connection abort

I looked this up online and found that my firewall was blocking my applet. So, to confirm this, I disabled my firewall and ran the applet. It worked fine.

Then, I followed the instructions given in another site to self-sign the applet using nnetbeans:

Project Properties -> Enable Web start -> Self-sign using generated key

Still, the same error persists. I can't find anything that explains this particular error.

Digitally signing an applet will not enable it to circumvent firewall security. – Andrew Thompson Feb 11 '13 at 09:32
Then what can I do? Is there another way to get around this? – Rajkiran Mar 19 '13 at 07:10
