You are talking about transmitting a binary stream. Conceptually, it is only
a stream of bytes, which has no predefined byte-order. Byte ordering only
applies when both sides are trying to interpret a set of bytes as an int or
short int (for example).

The bytes which represent a jpeg file are the same, on any platform...
otherwise you'd have to convert from a 'little endian jpeg' to a 'big
endian jpeg' even when you copied by floppy disk.
