Documentation

Template used to create temporary files when FTP-ing through a gateway.

Files starting with this prefix need to be accessible from BOTH the local machine and the gateway machine, and need to have the SAME name on both machines, that is, /tmp is probably NOT what you want, since that is rarely cross-mounted.
