You probably are using a Swing app that's connected to an RMI implementation(the server). I assume that the load isn't a concern here, and that you have full control over the clients(malicious clients could complicate the solution somehow), and that the connectivity between clients and the server. So, it really depends on that RMI implementation; however, I've never heard anything supporting something like this before. It's likely you could make the transfer as byte []'s, probably downloading them in chunks(2-16 KB) to lessen the memory requirements on the server and the impact of transmission errors. With some app servers, you could also bind a non-transactional object or abstract factory to the JNDI tree to perform this operation, as it seems hardly the transactional type.
