FileSender

The following outlines client and server requirements for the 1.1 release

Client requirements for uploads of any size

• Web browser with HTML5 FileAPI support. 
• Chrome and FireFox4+ are known to work. 
• Check here to monitor implementation progress of the HTML5 FileAPI for all major browsers. In particular support for FileReader API and Blob URLs needs to be light green (=supported) for a browser to support uploads larger then 2GB
• Flash Player 10.x browser plugin - required for user interface

Client requirements for uploads up to 2GB using Flash and for all downloads

• Web browser - modern release
• Flash Player 10.x browser plugin - required for user interface (for both up- and downloads).  Used for uploads up to 2 GB if the browser does not support the HTML5 FileAPI

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.
