So far we have discussed the fundamentals of Socket programming . In a previous chapter we have discussed the file transfer using TCP. In that example we were converting the entire file object into byte array . And sending it through the socket.But that cannot be applied to large sized file.Because the heap of a JVM cannot afford an object beyond its maximum capacity.So for transferring large sized files we need to use another approach. In this chapter we are discussing about transferring large sized files through socket with suitable example.The example we are discussing is sending all files in the source directory.The file size does not have any limit in this case.So this application can be used to transfer movies of large or very large size.But it may take some time to complete the transfer.If we need to send large files like movies , TCP is the perfect solution. UDP cannot be used for large files because the packet size of UDP is limited(about 64 KB). Also it is not practical to send the large sized file using UDP.
Transferring large sized files through socket
As we discussed earlier in this chapter , we cannot convert a large sized file to byte stream because the JVM cannot accommodate an object of size beyond its capacity.So in such a situation we need to use ByteBuffer object to read from the file. We have a client application as well as server application.The flow of working is summarized below.
1)ServerMain.java is the main for server application.ClientMain.java is the main for client application
2)Specify the source directory(not source file), destination ip address , destination directory in ClientMain.java
3)Run Servermain.java and ClientMain.java
5)Wait till the transfer is complete.
Now lets see the server as well as client applications.The server application has two classes:ServerMain.java and DirectoryRcr.java. The client application has two classes :ClientMain.java and DirectoryTxr.java
