Java file transfer over RMI

Question

What is the easiest way to transfer files over RMI ?

Answer 1

RMI is a poor choice for this application. There is too much implicit data copying, and too much latency if you use multiple method calls.

Use a socket or an HTTP connection. See my answer in this question for a general-purpose solution.

I don't know why you are so fixated on using RMI for this. You've posted half a dozen questions on it, and you've already been told several times, e.g. now-deleted here, that it isn't suitable, or part of an overload avoidance strategy as you claimed.
