Configuring the Distributed File Server Worker
* 
If you are publishing CAD data using Visualization Content Services (VCS), the information provided in this section and its subsections does not apply.
This topic outlines the steps necessary to configure and troubleshoot the Distributed File Server (DFS) Worker before publishing data using a remote worker. Information on configuring an upload to a File Server Hook can be found in Configuring Upload to File Server Hook.

The Distributed File Server Worker supports the following file synchronization-capable workers: Creo Parametric, NX, SOLIDWORKS, Creo Elements/Direct Modeling, and Autodesk Inventor.
Introduction to Distributed File Server Worker
The file server is a computer attached to the network that provides a location for shared disk access. The Worker is distributed on to the file server machine in the LAN rather than on the main server which is usually on the WAN.
The purpose of the Distributed File Server Worker is to eliminate the WAN file transfer of files when publishing data using a remote worker. To accomplish this, the workers in close proximity to a file server can be configured to retrieve the files directly from that file server. In addition, an optional feature is available to allow the created visualization files to be stored on the file server directly, rather than transferring them back to the main server.
