Easy. FTP.

If that is too heavyweight for you then use TFTP.
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc783.html
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1350.html
The above are reliable, tested, fully functional, documented and there's
lots of public domain source around.
The other big advantage is that there are servers and clients already on
EVERYTHING. You can use Linux or Windows FTP or TFTP servers, and even
if this isn't required you can test your implementation against them.
If you must "roll your own" then the usual reliable [1] way to signify
"end of file" is by closing the socket.
Note 1: More reliable that timeouts. Does have the problem that if the
network goes down during a file transfer the receiver may never close
(so you need LONG application-level timeouts to recover from this).
