[Loris-dev] upload_file.pl issue

[Nicolas Brossard]

Hi Ioannis,

No worries, we're here to help!

On Unix systems, all users usually have permission to create directories in
/tmp but just to be sure it'd be good idea to test that: just try

% mkdir /tmp/hello

and see if that works. If it does, then it means there's something more
"sneaky" going on.

You can try specifying an alternate temporary directory in which the upload
script will write files: just type the following line in your environment file
(located in the LORIS-MRI root directory):

export TMPDIR=/my/alternate/temporary/dir



Let me know if that helps.



Cheers,

Nicolas
