How to send large files (2-3 GB) over the network using sockets? I have written a socket program which sends files from the server to client. But it is taking a very long time to send even 300 MB.

Determine whether the network is the bottleneck and compress the files before sending if it is. Use
DeflaterOutputStreamin the sender andInflaterInputStreamin the receiver. (Don’t do this if the files are already compressed; many media formats include compression.)
