Client requirements for uploads of any size

Server requirements

• 64-bit Linux
• Webserver - any webserver will do, however our documentation assumes Apache 2+; ensure that the webserver is only reachable over HTTPS and the files directory is non-exec (see the Administrator_reference_manual for more information, and the FAQ for a quite relevant entry on why self signed certificates won't easily work)
• PHP 5.2.10+ - PHP has to be 64bits aware
• PostgreSQL 8.3.9+ database - we test on 8.3.9+, but earlier versions might work
• SimpleSamlPHP 1.7.0+ - earlier versions also work (testing has been done with 1.6.x and 1.8.x).
  
• Mail Transport Agent (MTA) - Any decent MTA will do (Postfix, Exim, Sendmail). FileSender needs to be able to send out emails.
