It has nothing to do with recognizing it - that's just a poorly-worded
dialog if that's what it says. (Tell the site about that.) It's not safe to
upload or download files that have not been encoded - it's looking for a
.sit or .sip or other suitable extension indicating you've done that (it may
still even allow .hqx but I doubt it). Your file will be stored for download
in exactly the format you upload it - they don't alter it or package it for
you - so it's got to be done right by you. The naming conventions (no spaces
or uppercase letters) relates to how the files are stored and their eventual
full URLs.

OK. Yet another reason for compressing files...
