Thread: file transfer problem - Help!

I have this problem with my code, I can transfer text files from one directory to another directory. But when i change the file name to a jpeg file, the program just refuse to transfer my picture... I really cannot understand why? Can anyone help please? Thanks!

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
 	int i,j;
 	int success;
 	char buffer;
 	char *pbuffer = &buffer;
 	
	FILE *source_fptr;             //file pointer
	FILE *dest_fptr;
			
	source_fptr = fopen("../a/drama.jpg", "r");
	if (source_fptr == NULL)
		{
		fprintf(stderr,"Error - Cannot open the source file\n");
		exit(1);		//exits the program
		}
	dest_fptr = fopen("../b/copied_drama.jpg", "w");
	if (dest_fptr == NULL)
		{
		fprintf(stderr,"Error - Cannot open the destination file\n");
		exit(1);		//exits the program
		}
				
	i=0;
	while(1)
	{
		fread(pbuffer, 1, 1, source_fptr);	
		if(feof(source_fptr))
		break;
		fwrite(pbuffer,1, 1, dest_fptr);
		if(feof(source_fptr))
	        break;
		i++;
	}	
	//printf("\nThe number of loop iterations: %i\n", i);
		
	fclose(source_fptr);
	fclose(dest_fptr);	
	
	return 0;
}
