Description

While trying to get the RDP file transfer working, I mostly got the error "you do not have permission to upload this file" while uploading a file. I then found out that files below 1 mb worked and larger ones not.
As I am using an nginx reverse proxy, this is because the default of `client_max_body_size` is set to 1mb.
So it should be set higher or even indefinite (0).
I think this should be added to the example nginx configuration in `Chapter 4. Proxying Guacamole`.
