Transfer of image over network via TCP Socket in JAVA isn't working? -

i have following code. seems streaming content accurately. however, image not being captured correctly. new java. basically, c, c++, linux programmer. wondering problem reading buffer line line. missing here?

here socket server code -

import java.io.*; import java.net.*;   public class imagesocketserver {      public static void main(string args[]) throws ioexception     {          imagesocketserver imageserver = new imagesocketserver();         imageserver.run();      }      private void run() throws ioexception {         // todo auto-generated method stub          serversocket serversock = new serversocket(1025);         socket sock = serversock.accept();          inputstream imagetoshare = new bufferedinputstream(new fileinputstream("/export/home/joshis1/lizard.png"));          printstream imagesend = new printstream( sock.getoutputstream());         imagesend.print(imagetoshare);      }  } 

here socket client code -

import java.io.*; import java.net.*;  public class imagesocketclient {      public static void main(string args[]) throws ioexception     {          imagesocketclient imageclient = new imagesocketclient();         imagesocketclient.run();      }      private static void run() throws unknownhostexception, ioexception     {         // todo auto-generated method stub          bufferedwriter bufwriter = null;           bufwriter = new bufferedwriter(new filewriter(                   "/export/home/joshis1/file1.png"));           socket sock = new socket("localhost", 1025);         inputstreamreader ir = new inputstreamreader(sock.getinputstream());         bufferedreader br = new bufferedreader(ir);          string data;           while ((data = br.readline()) != null)         {               system.out.println("shreyas got data");             bufwriter.write(data);           }            bufwriter.close();       }   } 

i see source image of size -

$ ls -l lizard.png  -rw-rw-r-- 1 joshis1 joshis1 19071522 may 29 15:46 lizard.png  , destination image wrongly copied -  $ ls -l file1.png  -rw-rw-r-- 1 joshis1 joshis1 34 may 29 17:38 file1.png 

first of imagesend.print(imagetoshare); sends on string representation of inputstream, explains small content of file. you'll want create loop reads imagetoshare (although might want name better, it's not image, it's stream) , writes data outputstream (search around quintessential read-write loop).

secondly, you're using printstream used write character data outputstream. want use bufferedoutputstream that.
