Check Java Servlet Programming, O'Reilly, Jason Hunter.
There, I found very usefull code to implement a file transfer process. But following that experience, maybe you must consider another way to do that as MQ.

You want to transfer a file between 2 linux machines. Does it have to be using Java?
If you can't use FTP, you could use SSH, or you can use NFS to mount one of the machines and create a virtual directory.
If you want to write it in Java, you would have a client that would probably take a command line name of the file, read it into a byte array, then connect a server conponent and write it across a stream through the socket connection. You could do this simply using an ObjectOutputStream.
The server component would create a ServerSocket, accept connections, read Objects from an ObjectInputStream, and write the data to disk using a FileOutputStream.
