Java APIs

I send a binary file from server socket to client socket. And I have some problem with client (but actually with server :) ).

That is my server code which sends a file:

OutputStream os = null;
FileInputStream fis = null;

try{
    fis = new FileInputStream( "some-file.png" );
} catch ( FileNotFoundException e1 ) {}

try {

    os = socket.getOutputStream();
    int c = -1;
    while( ( c = fis.read() ) != -1 ) {
        os.write( c );
    }

    os.flush();
//    os.close();

} catch ( IOException e2 ) {}

And that is client which receives a file:

try {

    int sChunk = 8192;

    InputStream is = socket.getInputStream();
    FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream( "file.png" );

    byte[] buffer = new byte[ sChunk ];
    int length;

    while ( ( length = is.read( buffer, 0, sChunk ) ) > -1 )
        out.write( buffer, 0, length );

    out.close();

} catch ( IOException e ) {
}

A client's while never continues cause I don't know how to send EOF from server.
If I do: "os.close();" at the end of server sending - it works... But.. It closes my socket! But I want to work with socket after that :)
How to send correct EOF flag from server? I think it's the root of all problems here..
