How would i modify this to allow for more than one client to be connected to the server and when a client sends a file, the server sends it to the other users.

when I transfer a small file, it work fine.
however, when I transfer a big file, client throws:
java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe

why? hope have a answer, thanks

change

while (fis.read(buffer) > 0) {
    dos.write(buffer);
}

to

int read;
while ((read=fis.read(buffer)) > 0) {
	dos.write(buffer,0,read);
}

-> now it works

Will it make the file read faster if its done using multiple threads using FileChannel?

int read;
while ((read=fis.read(buffer)) > 0) {
	dos.write(buffer,0,read);
}

Worked for me, thank you very much!

What is the filesize in serverside bro ? why did you set it equal 15123 ?

You guys need to set the size for the buffer as the same as your file, also fileSize, the best solution.
