Answer 1

You Just Copy and paste this code this will help you ....

This is Server class

import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import java.net.Socket;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.border.EmptyBorder;

public class SwingControlServer extends JFrame {

    /**
     * 
     */
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    private JPanel contentPane;

    /**
     * Launch the application.
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                try {
                    SwingControlServer frame = new SwingControlServer();
                    frame.setVisible(false);
                    frame.start();
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        });
    }

    protected static void start() throws IOException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
         System.out.println("Server running...");
         
            /* Listen on port 5555 */
     
            ServerSocket server = new ServerSocket(10001);
     
            /* Accept the sk */
     
            Socket socket = server.accept();
           
            System.out.println("Server accepted client");
            InputStream inputStream=socket.getInputStream();
            byte[] readbyte=new byte[(1024*10)*1024];

            int writebyte;
            int count=0;
            while((writebyte=inputStream.read(readbyte))!=-1)
            {
                if(writebyte>0)
                    count+=writebyte;
                fileOutputStream.write(readbyte, 0, writebyte);
            }
            
            //System.out.println("THE WRITEBYTE VALUE IS "+writebyte+"THE READ BYTE VALUE IS"+count);
            inputStream.close();
            System.out.println("CONNECTION CLOSED");
            

        
    }

    /**
     * Create the frame.
     */
    public SwingControlServer() {
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
        contentPane = new JPanel();
        contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
        contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout(0, 0));
        setContentPane(contentPane);
        
        
    }

Answer 2

You are basically reading the contents of the file when you select it, discard the contents and then trying to send the last int value you read from it to the server. A file my be many, many, many bytes long (think giga bytes), an int ins't going to hold that much information (poor int).

Instead, when the user selects a File, you should maintain a reference to it until you actually need it...

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    try {
        if (e.getSource() == b) {
            int x = fc.showOpenDialog(null);
            if (x == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
                fileToBeSent = fc.getSelectedFile();
                tf.setText(f1.getAbsolutePath());
                b1.setEnabled(true);
            } else {
                fileToBeSent = null;
                tf.setText(null;);
                b1.setEnabled(false);
            }
        }
        if (e.getSource() == b1) {
            send();
        }
    } catch (Exception ex) {
    }
}

When the user presses the "send" button, you would simply copy the file input stream to the sockets output stream...

FileInputStream in = null;
try {
    in = new FileInputStream(fileToBeSent);
    byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];

The next problem you are likely to hit is the fact that the UI will stop responding while the transfer is underway.

In this case, you should take a look at Concurrency in Swing.

Modern UI's need to deal with many different characteristics of client machines, included different fonts, font rendering capabilities, DPI, screen resolutions and lots more. You're putting your self in a very dark and deep hole by using absolute layouts.

You should take advantage of the layout manager API which is designed to easy the pressure of these concerns and make you UI more accommodating on different operating environments.
