Thread: Send text file over socket

Hi!

I'm trying to send a text file over a socket, from client to server, but I doesn't work. I will demonstrate a part of the code that isn't working.

The critical part of the server look like this:

while(true) {
            try {
                Socket socket = fileSocket.accept();
                out = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream()));
                in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
 
                String s = in.readLine();

And the client like this:

Socket = new Socket(address, number);
            BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(Socket.getOutputStream()));
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(Socket.getInputStream()));
 
            BufferedReader fileIn = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filename));
 
            String s = fileIn.readLine();
            out.write(s);

Now I want the s in the server to hold the same string as s in the client, but the server can't read the stream - nothing happes.
I know that readLine() reads until a new line character, but it doesn't word to write and read a single character either.

No, but i does not work to send anything at all. If i want to send an integer:

while(true) {
            try {
                Socket socket = fileSocket.accept();
                out = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream()));
                in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
 
                int i = in.read();

And client:

Socket = new Socket(address, number);
            BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(Socket.getOutputStream()));
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(Socket.getInputStream()));
 
            BufferedReader fileIn = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filename));
 
            int i = 26
            out.write(i);

I get no error messages...

Seems like I forgot to flush....
