Java close TCP/IP connection

I need a java program to download a series of file from a web server and I need to be able to close and then reopen the tcp/ip connection between each file download.

Not sure how to do this.

use the logic: Please post something that you have tried.

 do{
      connection.open;
      while(!eof){
      fetchfiles();
      }
     connection.close;
     }while(no of files yet to download);

Here is a low-level way of retrieving any information from not only socket 80 (http) but generically to retrieve mail, do a 'telnet' etc:

socket = new Socket();
socket.connect(new InetSocketAddress(host, port));
reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream()));

now to do a call to retrieve a page, send the get command, set the content-type, and send two '\n'.

There is a higher-level solution: Send HTTP GET request with header

You can create a Socket for the IP and port you want to send it to, then read the file into a byte array using a FileInputStream and send that byte array through a DataOutPutStream, then when done just flush the dataOutPutStream and close the Socket and call the function again sending the next file.
