Network Questions

Question

1) What is the default file transfer in Java? For example, I am interested in building a client server program that needs to transfer files from my client to the server. Is there a built in class that can do that?
2) Is Java's default method of transfer TCP? By default, I mean the procedure of something like this:
ServerSocket s = new ServerSocket(8888);
Socket incoming = s.accept();
InputStream in = incoming.getInputStream();
blah blah blah
Is the above by default TCP?

But you might be alone in that. :)
