Q: 

large data transfer between mobile app and server

what's the server setup used for data communication between a mobile app(eg. android) and server, would apache http server with php be sufficient? assuming you need to transfer 1gb of binary or text data at once per day, or spread them over small chunks and transfer at different times of the day.

what about tomcat + java servlet? all suggestions are welcome.

A: 

From the server side PHP/Apache should be fine, but is this all going to the same client?

no, different clients, many clients

should it be standard http or socket based

Ideally SOAP / HTTP (REST) based. Depends what you're doing - for instance for a project I am looking at I have had to write my own server program to simply monitor a network port and handle everything itself - but that was merely because this is the only way that the mobile device I was looking at would communicate with me...
