Problem in reading an Image file from a Output Stream.

Question

I am having problem reading a JPEG file. Actually i am sending JPEG file using UDP from the client. I am using this code to convert to a byte array to transmit the file:
DataInputStream inStream = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream("src/Bgamex.jpg"));
String str1 = inStream.toString();
byte[] bindata = new byte[65500];
bindata = str1.getBytes();
On the server side, I am using these lines to convert the bytes to a file again but it seems to be that its not working. Its making file but with a bigger size & like garbage in it, showing nothing:
byte[] buf = new byte[65500];
// receive request
DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(buf, buf.length);
socket.receive(packet);
buf = packet.getData();
java.io.OutputStream fos = new java.io.FileOutputStream("Bga.jpg");
fos.write(buf);
Could somebody lemme know the problem in converting the file.
Thanx.

I propose you to perform this simple test to see by yourself:     final String BIN_FILENAME = "somebytes.bin";
    byte[] bin = {5, 4, 3, 2, 1};
    FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(BIN_FILENAME);
    out.write(bin);
    out.flush();
    out.close();
    byte[] bindata;
    DataInputStream in1 = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream(BIN_FILENAME));
    String str = in1.toString();
    in1.close();
    bindata = str.getBytes();   
    System.out.print("Bytes read with in1>");
    for (int i=0; i<bindata.length; i++) System.out.print(bindata);
System.out.println();
FileInputStream in2 = new FileInputStream(BIN_FILENAME);
bindata = new byte[65505];
int bread = in2.read(bindata, 0, in2.available());
in2.close();
System.out.print("Bytes read with in2>");
for (int i=0; i<bread; i++) System.out.print(bindata[i]);
System.out.println();
