Serving static files is not what socket.io is made for. Especially binary files is annoying with websockets.
Node.js has everything you need to serve static files, as Cadell pointed out there are good guides on the web for doing that.
The better solution IMHO is to use the connect framework for Node.js so you can use the static middleware. If you want to make your life even easier IMHO, then I'd use the express framework which is built on top of connect and includes a lot of really nice things to make writing a web app simpler. It's very easy to serve static files via either of those solutions.
