Is this web site for Intranet (local network often used in medium to large companies, or education institutions) purposes, because g://myfile.doc will not be valid location if on remote server

no its not for intranet , we are planning to launch in the internet. Currently it works in the LAN but some of the portion of the viewed file comes corrupted.we are downloading the file in the browser. I m using the following code

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
    pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<%@page import="java.io.*" %>
<%
  BufferedReader reader = null;
  String line;
  File file = new File("G://GlobalShare.doc");
 
  try {
        response.setContentType("application/msword");
      response.setContentLength((int) file.length());
     // response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline; filename=DSC01237.JPG");
      
      reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
        while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
          out.print(line);
        }
  }
  catch(FileNotFoundException fileNotFound) {
    out.print("The file does not exist.");
  }
  catch(IOException ioErr) {
    out.print("An error occured during output.");
  }
  finally {
        if (reader != null) {
          reader.close();
        }
  }
%>
