Although my issue at http://drupal.org/node/157134 still stands for files and tmp dirs. But you are correct, you can use sites/sample1.com/tmp and I've done this before. But I just like have the tmp files above the docroot maybe just for my own warm, fuzzy feeling. :) -R Boris Mann wrote:

Um. No. It really is temporary. The file gets removed by the operations that happen. They are temporary files.....
Enough "Um"s! I respect your contributions to Drupal, but you seem to be the only person who thinks this is an unreasonable feature.
Or, rather than the only one to feel that way, Boris is just the first person to say so.
Didn't say unreasonable, just there are many ways around this. Have your modules create subdirectories. Anything in a tmp folder (esp! /tmp) is not guaranteed to stick around at all.
If you set it to be somewhere under your control (i.e. not /tmp), then it won't get removed and you can make subfolders and all that other good stuff.
