I just set up Alfresco Community 2.1 on a Windows XP machine, and I'm accessing it via CIFS. It seems to be working, but I've noticed that hundreds of .tmp files are being created in the folders that contain my content. So I'm wondering – where do these come from? Is it safe to delete them? Is there a way to prevent them from showing up?
Alfresco doesn't create .tmp files within the spaces it creates. What client are you using and what types of files are you loading via the CIFS interface?
I guess that would explain why I haven't been able to find any references to this problem! I'm opening and closing XML files with XMetaL… could the problem lie between XMetaL and CIFS?
