You should try to read from file and output to the net at the same time. The way you're doing it now costs more time and memory. More time, because you first read int eh whole file from disk, before you start outputing, while if you do this at the same time you will safe some time. Memory will saved, as you do not need to keep the whole file in memory, but only the part which you load in buffer.

Something like this:

int bufSize = 100000 // Don't know what the most efficient buffer size is... something you can experience with or google for
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(out);
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream( new FileInputStream( yourFile ) );
byte[] buff = new byte[bufSize];

int bytesRead=0;
while ( (bytesRead = bis.read(buff)) > 0 ){
 bos.write(buf, 0, byteRead);
}
