Why does this code read all ' ' for the anything after the 4th character?

#define fileSize 100000 
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){       
        char *name=argv[1];
        char ret[fileSize];
        FILE *fl = fopen(name, "rb");
        fseek(fl, 0, SEEK_END);
        long len = fileSize;
        fseek(fl, 0, SEEK_SET);
        //fread(ret, 1, len, fl);
        int i;
        *(ret+fileSize) = '\0';
        for (i=0; i<fileSize; i++){
            *(ret+i)=fgetc(fl);
            printf("byte : %s \n", ret);
        }
        fclose(fl);
}

In the above code, when I feed the name of a jpeg file, it reads anything after the 4th character as ' '...any ideas? Thanks!
