• Get the output stream of the socket, usinggetOutputStream() API method of Socket.
• Create anOutputStreamWriter with the socket ouputstream.
• Create aBufferedWriter that uses a default-sized output buffer.
• Usewrite(String str) API method to write the text andflush() API method to flush the stream.
• Don’t forget to close the BufferedWriter, using theclose() API method,

as described in the code snippet below.  

try {BufferedWriter wr = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream()));wr.write("Data to be sent");wr.flush();wr.close();    }catch (IOException ioe) {System.out.println("I/O Error " + ioe.getMessage());}
