Problem

How to avoid the use of the /tmp with Transfer CFT?

/tmp can suffer from space or execution right issue.

Can we remove this dependency?

Resolution

The temporary directory path can be redefined for the installer by setting the variable below:

export TEMPORARY_DIR=/mytempdir

see details in KB https://support.axway.com/kb/154761

Note: It does not apply to CFT 3.4 and higher

CFT temporary space that default to the /tmp can be redirected by setting the variable below:

export TMPDIR user_path/tmp
