Second Packet Read From Input Stream Has Incomplete Data

I a simple server that receives bytes using TCP and then saves them to a file stream.Through many tests I have seen that the first packet received is always just the filename with no other data. The second packet received only has one byte and it is the first letter of the input text file. After this all packets are sent correctly, but I can't seem to figure out what is messing up the second packet. It also appears that the last packet is written twice.

Here is an example Input/Output: [URL] .....

InputStream in = clntSock.getInputStream(); //server's input stream - gets data from the client
OutputStream out = clntSock.getOutputStream(); //server's output stream - server sends data to the client
byte[] byteBuffer = new byte[BUFSIZE];
int count = in.read(byteBuffer, 0, BUFSIZE);
String firstRead = new String(byteBuffer, 0, count);

[Code] ....

Another peculiarity to me is that the second to last packet is always just "-" and then the last packet has the remainder of the magic string which terminates the file output stream.

I am aware that it is not safe to make the assumption that the file name will be sent in one go before the loop, but I wil fix that later. I am not concerned about it at all now. THe problem si that the loop should account for any amount read in, but for some reason the first packet always contains one letter, and the second packet picks up around 16000 bytes later for some reason. Why would this be?I can't edit my above post so here is the code with code tags.

InputStream in = clntSock.getInputStream(); //server's input stream - gets data from the client
OutputStream out = clntSock.getOutputStream(); //server's output stream - server sends data to the client
byte[] byteBuffer = new byte[BUFSIZE];
int count = in.read(byteBuffer, 0, BUFSIZE);
String firstRead = new String(byteBuffer, 0, count);
