File Transfer Java Server Program and a sample client application that tests the server

I have to write a JAva Server application that uses a socket connection to allow a client to specify a file name and have the server send the contents of the file or indicate that the file does not exist.

Also the client should save the file to a local disk.

That's interesting for you

Able to connect client to server.
Please help me how to open search for the file and send it back to the client

Reading from a input stream and writing to an output stream always seems to work. :)

Jakarta's Commons project has an FTP Client built into it if you don't want to re-invent one.

Of course you would have to find an FTP Server for your server.

you wanna attach a footnote or a bibliography to that shameless cut and paste? It's one thing not to credit the proper author or source, but I hope you kids at least remove the page numbers before you turn in your homework. ;)

If it will help my score, I could post all of the source to org.apache.commons.net.ftp as an example of an FTP Client.

You gotta be careful. If one were to do a quick verbatim search on the web using your code, they may think you were really the distinguished gentleman from Ireland, Prof. David Sinclair of DCU. A small price to pay for Lazynes, i suppose. ;)
