How to Read File a remotely using TCP/ip Sockets in java

[avdhesh.yadav]

Hi all

let me first explain secnerio.

Actually i have to write a multithreaded program.
In this program i have to read files remotely using TCP sockets...
Everytime New file comes i have to create a new Socket and accept and
read the file.


and then after rading it i have to send it to a a client..

Thing is that file is Remotly located..
first i have to connect to that server ad then read file and send it
client..where we done processing ..

i m thinking two things ..
in one case i crrate a single socket and read files through this socket
and send it to cleint..
other is creat separate sockets and read files and then send it to
client..


Which option is correct and how i program this..

Thanks in advace

I'm afraid that I do not fully understand what you are trying to do. Like in
most cases, there are several solutions possible, and it all depends on what
you are exactly trying to do to choose the best option.

If you're downloading a file from a server, processing it on another machine
and then sending it to a third machine (the client), I would definitely
separate those two processes.

As a result of that, you'd create one connection (socket) to the server, and
another to the client.
