I am learning about socket programming in Java from the below link: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/socket-programming-in-java/
The code for server from the tutorial is as follows(I have added extra lines to copy in a file):
// A Java program for a Server
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Server
{
//initialize socket and input stream
private Socket socket = null;
private ServerSocket server = null;
private DataInputStream in = null;
FileWriter fw;
// constructor with port
public Server(int port)
{
// starts server and waits for a connection
try
{
server = new ServerSocket(port);
System.out.println("Server started");
System.out.println("Waiting for a client ...");
socket = server.accept();
System.out.println("Client accepted");
// takes input from the client socket
in = new DataInputStream(
new BufferedInputStream(socket.getInputStream()));
String line = "";
// reads message from client until "Over" is sent
while (!line.equals("Over"))
{
try
{
line = in.readUTF();
fw = new FileWriter("out.txt");
fw.write(line);
System.out.println(line);
}
catch(IOException i)
{
System.out.println(i);
}
}
System.out.println("Closing connection");
fw.close();
// close connection
socket.close();
in.close();
}
catch(IOException i)
{
System.out.println(i);
}
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
Server server = new Server(5000);
}
}
I have added extra lines in this code for filewriter where I create a file with name out.txt and copy the contents of the datainputstream into the file. But only when I type Over, the word Over is copied into the file and not any of the other content. What am I doing wrong here?

You're creating a new File again every time you're reading a line.
Create one File, once at the beginning, and write your lines to it.
