This is certainly possible in Java.  To get started check out the documentation
for the java.net and java.io packages.

The only security restriction you are likely to encounter is that unsigned
applets can only communicate with the host they were downloaded from.  Java
applications have no security restrictions.  And signed applets can be given
permission to access other hosts.

All the best,
