Thank you david, I am sorry but I made a mistake in my previous 
question, I AM using JFileChooser, which has an OK button and a CANCEL 
button by default, I know i might be able to rename them, but what I 
really want is to get ride of these 2 buttons.
My application is like this: I have a frame that has 2 windows, the 
left one displays the file structure on the other machine ( I have 
another application running on that machine and read the file names and 
send it over through socket), I still didn't figure out how to display 
these  files and do select yet.( anyone has an idea?)
The right side one, like you said, I am using the FileChooser, but i 
don't want any buttons on these 2 windows except one button called 
"transfer", if i click it, it will transfer the file on the other 
machine to my local directory.

Anyone has comment on how to make this GUI work?
thanks in advance!
