How to split a large file into chunks in c#?

I'm making a simple file transfer sender and receiver app through the wire. What I have so far is that the sender converts the file into a byte array and sends chunks of that array to the receiver.

This works with file of up to 256mb, but anything above, the line:

byte[] buffer = StreamFile(fileName); //This is where I convert the file

Throws a System out of memory exception.

I'm looking for a way to read the file in chunks then write that chunk instead of loading the whole file into a byte. How can I do this with a FileStream?

EDIT:

Sorry, heres my crappy code so far:

    private void btnSend(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Socket clientSock = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);


        byte[] fileName = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(fName); //file name
        byte[] fileData = null;
        try
        {
             fileData = StreamFile(textBox1.Text); //file
        }
        catch (OutOfMemoryException ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Out of memory");
            return;
        }

        byte[] fileNameLen = BitConverter.GetBytes(fileName.Length); //length of file name
        clientData = new byte[4 + fileName.Length + fileData.Length];
        fileNameLen.CopyTo(clientData, 0);
        fileName.CopyTo(clientData, 4);
        fileData.CopyTo(clientData, 4 + fileName.Length);
        clientSock.Connect("172.16.12.91", 9050);
        clientSock.Send(clientData, 0, 4 + fileName.Length, SocketFlags.None);

        for (int i = 4 + fileName.Length; i < clientData.Length; i++)
        {
            clientSock.Send(clientData, i, 1 , SocketFlags.None);
        }

        clientSock.Close();
    }

And here's how I receive (the code was from a tutorial)

   public void ReadCallback(IAsyncResult ar)
    {

        int fileNameLen = 1;
        String content = String.Empty;
        StateObject state = (StateObject)ar.AsyncState;
        Socket handler = state.workSocket;
        int bytesRead = handler.EndReceive(ar);
        if (bytesRead > 0)
        {

            if (flag == 0)
            {
                Thread.Sleep(1000);
                fileNameLen = BitConverter.ToInt32(state.buffer, 0);
                string fileName = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(state.buffer, 4, fileNameLen);
                receivedPath = fileName;
                flag++;
            }
                if (flag >= 1)
                {
                    BinaryWriter writer = new BinaryWriter(File.Open(receivedPath, FileMode.Append));
                    if (flag == 1)
                    {
                        writer.Write(state.buffer, 4 + fileNameLen, bytesRead - (4 + fileNameLen));
                        flag++;
                    }
                    else
                        writer.Write(state.buffer, 0, bytesRead);
                        writer.Close();
                        handler.BeginReceive(state.buffer, 0, StateObject.BufferSize, 0,
                        new AsyncCallback(ReadCallback), state);
                }
        }
        else
        {
            Invoke(new MyDelegate(LabelWriter));
        }

    }

I just really want to know how I can read the file in chunks so that I dont need to convert it to a byte.

Thanks for the responses so far, I think I'm starting to get it :D
