Guidelines for Configuring a Worker "Common File System"
The "Common File System" refers to setting up a mechanism to transfer files between the Windchill server and the worker — that is, transferring files to be published to the worker and then transferring published viewables back to Windchill. There are various techniques for setting up a Common File System that can be accessed by both the Worker and the Windchill server, such as Windows Mapped Drives or UNC paths; the Windows IIS; or Apache, FileZilla, or UNIX FTP and FTPS servers.
You can configure Common File Systems to communicate between various Windows and UNIX server/worker combinations. This topic describes which tools are supported for the various configurations.
* 
For any combination other than Windows to Windows, you must use an FTP or FTPS setup between file systems.
The configurations that are tested and supported by PTC are listed below.
Windows server to Windows worker:
Uses the WorkerDaemon service to start the worker.
Transfers data via a common file system using a Windows mapped drive or a UNC path.
Transfers data via a common file system using FTP to a supported FTP service installed on the Windows worker machine.
Windows server to UNIX worker:
Uses Telnet to start the worker.
Transfers data via a common file system using FTP to a supported FTP service installed on the UNIX operating system on the worker machine.
UNIX server to Windows worker:
Uses the WorkerDaemon service to start the worker.
Transfers data via a common file system using FTP to a supported FTP service installed on the Windows worker machine.
UNIX server to UNIX worker:
Uses Telnet to start the worker.
Transfers data via a common file system using FTP to a supported FTP service installed on the UNIX operating system on the worker machine.

Windchill supports Apache and FileZilla FTP servers as network sharing techniques. FTPS configured servers are also supported. For further information on installing and configuring these servers, refer to the Apache (http://mina.apache.org/ftpserver-project/) or FileZilla (http://filezilla-project.org/) web sites.
Windchill FTPS supports only Explicit FTPS mode; Implicit FTPS mode is not supported. Thus, in a Windchill configuration, the FTPS client explicitly requests security from an FTPS server, and subsequently invoke a mutually agreed encryption method.
For troubleshooting FTP issues, you can enable logging to see actual FTP commands sent to and from the server. See the <Windchill>/codebase/loggers.html file for more information regarding the logging options related to FTP.
For a complete description of Windchill logging, see Managing Windchill Logging.
