Socket programming - accepting files

[ravian]

I have written a Socket Server that is listening at some port. I am getting input from my client using DataInputStream. Review the code below:

DataInputStream input;
try {
input = new DataInputStream(MyClient.getInputStream());
}
catch (IOException e) {
       System.out.println(e);
}

I want the user to send me File objects as well. Is this possible which the code above or I have to make some changes?

Thanks for your time.

Yes, you may send files using Socket client. use FileOutputStream in that case.

BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream
                        (new FileOutputStream("fileName.txt"));

Make sure to catch exceptions.

Happy coding.
