# Deploying Simple Bandwidth Scanner

To run sbws is needed:

- A machine to run the scanner.
- One or more destination (s) that serve a large file.

Both the `scanner` and your the `destination` (s) should be on fast, well connected machines.

## destination requirements

- A Web server installed and running that supports HTTP GET, HEAD and Range (RFC 7233) requests. `Apache` HTTP Server and `Nginx` support them.
- Optional support for TLS
- A large file; at the time of writing, at least 1 GiB in size

## scanner setup

Install sbws according to `./INSTALL.rst` (or /INSTALL.rst or Installing Simple Bandwidth Scanner).

To configure destinations, create a configuration file according to `./docs/source/man_sbws.ini.rst` (or /docs/source/man_sbws.ini.rst or Simple Bandwidth Scanner - SBWS.INI(5) or `man sbws.ini`)

See also `./docs/source/man_sbws.rst` (or /docs/source/man_sbws.rst or Simple Bandwidth Scanner - SBWS(1) or `man sbws`) manual page.
