Hi guys. I have a problem.. i am trying to transfer files from one computer to an other(yes i did port forwarding)..the thing is that if i use 1024-1(buffer) and 1024-1(buffer) in both programs it will NOT transfer any file..it will just create a file with 0kb. size.. So if i use 128-1(buffer) in the program that i want to send file and 2-1(buffer) in receiver program it works ONLY FOR JPG!!! HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? LOL... all other files are being created as 0kb and it will not transfer the file... any help please??? i have this code to the program that i want to send one file:

Imports System.Net.Sockets
Imports System.IO
Module gtsnfl
#Region "get file"
    Public Sub getfile(ByVal path As String)
        filePathst = path
        Dim sendThread As New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf sendSub)
        sendThread.IsBackground = True
        sendThread.Start()
    End Sub

#Region "send"
    Private filePathst As String
    Delegate Sub nan()
    Public Sub sendSub()
        Dim clist As New TcpClient
        clist.Connect(Form1.myip, 1301)
        Try
            Dim nstm As Stream = clist.GetStream()
            Dim fstm As Stream = New FileStream(filePathst, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
            Dim buffer(128 - 1) As Byte
            Do While True
                Dim bytesRead As Integer = fstm.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
                If bytesRead = 0 Then Exit Do
                nstm.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead)
                nstm.Flush()
            Loop
            clist.Close()
            nstm.Close()
            fstm.Close()
        Catch ex As Exception
        End Try
    End Sub
#End Region
#End Region
End Module

and i also have this code in the program that will receive the file..

       Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim ListenThreadtr As System.Threading.Thread = New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf ListenSubFiles)
        ListenThreadtr.IsBackground = True
        ListenThreadtr.Start()
    End Sub



    Private Sub ListenSubFiles()
        Try
            Dim servertr As New TcpListener(IPAddress.Any, 1301)
            servertr.Start()
            Try
                While True
                    Dim ctr As TcpClient = servertr.AcceptTcpClient
                    Dim str As NetworkStream = ctr.GetStream
                    Try
                        System.IO.File.Delete(Application.StartupPath & "\" & filefile)
                    Catch ex As Exception
                    End Try
                    FileOpen(1, AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory & "\" & filefile, OpenMode.Binary)
                    Dim buffer(2 - 1) As Byte
                    Do While True
                        Dim bytesRead As Integer = str.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
                        If bytesRead = 0 Then Exit Do
                        FilePut(1, buffer)
                    Loop
                    FileClose(1)
                    str.Close()
                    ctr.Close()
                End While
            Catch ex As Exception
                MsgBox("error" & vbCr & ex.ToString, MsgBoxStyle.Critical, "Error")
            End Try
        Catch ex As Exception

        End Try

    End Sub
