+# TEMPORARY SERVER FILES FOLDER SETTING
+
+This setting controls where AyaNova stores files temporarily while servicing requests such as report generation etc.
+
+Warning: this folder MUST NOT be the same location set for [AYANOVA_FOLDER_USER_FILES](ops-config-folder-user-files.md) or [AYANOVA_FOLDER_BACKUP_FILES](ops-config-folder-backup-files.md) or AyaNova will not start.
+
+## Default
+
+If no override is specified AyaNova will store temporary files in a `tempfiles` folder in the AyaNova root folder where AyaNova is started from.
+
+## Overriding
+
+AyaNova expects the temporary files folder path to be provided by an environment variable or command line parameter named
+
+`AYANOVA_FOLDER_TEMPORARY_SERVER_FILES`
+
+The value specified should be a string containing a fully qualified file path for the platform, for example:
+`c:\data\ayanova\tempfiles`
+
+Example command line parameter
+
+`dotnet run --AYANOVA_FOLDER_TEMPORARY_SERVER_FILES="/var/lib/ayanova/tempfiles"`
+
+Example environment variable
+
+Windows
+
+`set "AYANOVA_FOLDER_TEMPORARY_SERVER_FILES=c:\data\ayanova\tempfiles"`
+
+Linux / MAC
+
+`export AYANOVA_FOLDER_TEMPORARY_SERVER_FILES="/var/lib/ayanova/tempfiles"`
+
+If both a command line parameter and an environment variable are set the command line parameter takes precedence.
