Hi Ali,
The following code works for me:
public void sendFile(File file, Socket socket) throws Exception {
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
DataOutputStream dos = new
DataOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(fis);
int b = dis.read();
while (b != -1) {
dos.write(b);
b = dis.read();
}
dos.flush();
}
public void recvFile(File file, Socket socket) throws Exception {
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(fos);
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
int b = dis.read();
while (b != -1) {
dos.write(b);
b = dis.read();
}
dos.flush();
dos.close();
}
Cheers

Another way is to use DATAGRAM Packet (UDP) protocol, but this method may stops the transmitting. But it is official accepted. look at java.sun.com a search for socket tutorials
