How to redirect CFT' temporary files written to /tmp

Problem

CFT use the /tmp directory as the default temporary directory.



/tmp is an applications' shared area on an UNIX system, we have no control on /tmp usage.



CFT can fails (core, hangs, slow-down....) when no more space is left in /tmp directory



/tmp directory is mostly used to temporary store post-transfers procedures (that' should (MUST) be self-deleted after execution.


Resolution


Write operation to /tmp can be redirected with setting the environment variable TMPDIR accordingly.



The CFT profile file can be be updated accordingly when needed.



i.e.:
export TMPDIR user_path/tmp
