Download file remotely?

Question

Can we use the following method to download file in remote server?
  response.setContentType("APPLICATION/OCTET-STREAM");
  response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline" );            
  response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=\""+ remotefile + "\"");     
  FileInputStream fileInputStream =new FileInputStream(remotefile);
   int i;
   while ((i=fileInputStream.read()) != -1) {
        out.write(i);
  fileInputStream.close();
  out.close();

Firstly, thanks for your reply. I've modified the code since I need to get the file by an URL.
In the following code, I could print out html content, but not word document. The encoding and the page encoding is already set to UTF-8, but the Chinese characters become symbols...How's to solve the problem?
<%@ page pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
String fn="";
fn="test.doc";
int len=0;
String ifile="";
ifile="http://xxx.com/test.doc";
          char c[] = new char[1024];
        commonlib comlib = new commonlib();
        response.setContentType("APPLICATION/OCTET-STREAM");
            response.addHeader("Content-Type","text/html");
           response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=\""+ fn.trim() + "\"");          
              HttpURLConnection con = comlib.http_connect(ifile,"");
              InputStream in = con.getInputStream();
              BufferedReader inbuf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in,"UTF-8"));                 
              String inputLine; 
              String sContent = "";          
           while ((inputLine = inbuf.readLine()) != null) {
                    out.print(c,0,len);
         inbuf.close();
           in.close();
           in = null;
           con.disconnect();
