Problem in sending file thru sockets

Question

Hello
i am sending a file thru sockets....the file reaches the server but there is loss of file contents. i do not recieve the entire file. whats wrong?
my Server code
//package socket_try ;
// SimpleServer.java: a simple server program
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.comm.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Server
public static final int BUFFER_SIZE = 1024 * 50;
static CommPortIdentifier portId;
static Enumeration portList;
SerialPort serialPort;
Thread readThread;
public static void main(String[] ar)
byte[] buffer;
buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
int port = 6666; // just a random port. make sure you enter something between 1025 and 65535.
boolean portFound;
try
ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(port); // create a server socket and bind it to the above port number.
System.out.println("Waiting for a client...");
Socket socket = ss.accept(); // make the server listen for a connection, and let you know when it gets one.
System.out.println("Got a client :) ... Finally, someone saw me through all the cover!");
System.out.println();
BufferedInputStream bin = new BufferedInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("c:\\SMS.txt"));
int in;
try
int len = 0;
          while ((len = bin.read(buffer)) > 0) {
               bos.write(buffer, 0, len);
               System.out.print("#");
          bin.close();
          bos.flush();
          bos.close();
          socket.close();
ss.close();
catch(Exception x)
x.printStackTrace();
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println("Exception : "+e);
my client code
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Client
public static final int BUFFER_SIZE = 1024 * 50;
public static void main(String[] ar)
int serverPort = 6666; // make sure you give the port number on which the server is listening.
String address = "192.168.1.3"; // this is the IP address of the server program's computer. // the address given here means "the same computer
as the client".
int in=0;
byte[] byteArray;
byte[] buffer;
buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
try
InetAddress ipAddress = InetAddress.getByName(address); // create an object that represents the above IP address.
System.out.println("Any of you heard of a socket with IP address " + address + " and port " + serverPort + "?");
Socket socket = new Socket(ipAddress, serverPort); // create a socket with the server's IP address and server's port.
System.out.println("Yes! I just got hold of the program.");
// Get the input and output streams of the socket, so that you can receive and send data to the client.
// Just converting them to different streams, so that string handling becomes easier.
BufferedInputStream bis;
BufferedOutputStream bos;
bis = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("c:\\send.txt"));
bos = new BufferedOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
byte[] receivedData;
int len = 0;
while ((len = bis.read(buffer)) > 0)
bos.write(buffer, 0, len);
System.out.print("#");
     for(int y =0 ; y < buffer.length ; y++)
char s =(char) buffer[y];
System.out.println("character:"+s);
bis.close();
bos.flush();
bos.close();
socket.close();
System.out.println("\nDone!");
catch(Exception x)
x.printStackTrace();
} /* end of main */
}/* end of class */
what is wrong can please anyone tell me??????

As I don't know how long a record is, that's not a very useful answer. How many bytes are you expecting and how many do you actually get?
