Your code looks good.

You don't actually need to send across the size of the file. You can use while True, as the check if not data: break will stop the loop.

while True:
    data = s.recv(1024)

    if not data: print " Done "; break

    recvd += data

Also, why are you sending 'ok' is the other side doesn't check for it? You are just skipping 2 bytes at each side.

Don't you need to cater to multiple clients? No need for multi-threading?
