Network File Transfer?

[David]

I've written a pair of client/server programs to do file transfer over
a network. Pretty simple, really: server grabs the file up into an
array of bytes, then waits for the client to contact it. When client
initiates contact, the server sends the data in a packet. This works
great for all kinds of files EXCEPT jar's!!! The file transfer works,
but jars won't execust if sent this way. I get an error message
saying fatal exception or something. Why can i transfer all other
files like this, but jar's won't work?!

Without seeing your code I can't tell you for sure but to make a guess I
would say that you've been using Readers when you should have been using
Streams.
