Copy a .swf file from server side to client using signed applet

Question

Hello All,
I already have my applet signed and its working pretty well. However I want to know how can I import a .swf file into clients machine. The .swf file initially is on server side, my applet checks whether this .swf file exists already on client machine. If not it copies it to his machine.
I know how to chk if the file already exits on client machine but I am not sure how to copy this .swf file to his machine if its missing.
May be I need to set some input buffers from server side and then copy them to his machine.
Can some one throw some light on this issue ??

Hello to all Java Code Masters out thr,
I am trying to copy a .swf file from server side to client side, however I am unsuccessful in writing the correct data. By correct data I mean that , the data does gets saved on the client side in the .swf file, and the size of the .swf file on client side is as expected, but some how I don't know why the data is not the same as expected.
I tried opening up both the swf file, one which is on server side and the other which is on client side. And both looked different in the notepad.
When I opens up the client side .swf file on browser it shows nothing while the .swf file on server side worked fine.
Here is a snap shot of the two .swf files when opened in notepad:
clientside.swf

k�2c��lg���a��\�%��serverside.swf is what I expect to be saved, but clientside.swf is what i get.
Below is a code snippet which I am trying :
  public void writeswftoclient(String swfcontent) {
    String userHome = System.getProperty("user.home" );
    String ImoracleDirectory = userHome + "\\MyFolder";
    File fdirectory = new File(ImoracleDirectory);
    if(!fdirectory.isDirectory()) {
      fdirectory.mkdir();
    String playlist = ImoracleDirectory + "\\clientside.swf";
    File fplaylist = new File(playlist);
    try {
      Writer output = null;
      output = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(fplaylist,true));
      *System.out.println(swfcontent);*
      *output.write(swfcontent);*
      output.close();
    catch (Exception e) {
      System.out.println("Cannot create or write to the playlist");
  }In above code I am trying to write the string swfcontent, which contains the data shown above in serverside.swf, to clientside.swf.
Interesting thing is that I am doing System.out.println(swfcontent); just before writing the data to clientside.swf using output.write(swfcontent);. And System.out.println does print the write data on the java console. However I dont know out of what reason the data doesnt get written correctly on the client's computer.
Kindly help me in this plzzzzzzzzzz.
