Set location of where import files are saved
September 22, 2011, 11:38:17 am
I've noticed that when staff imports files (in this case contributions) the are files created in the web site root directory: Import_for_<MM>_<DD>_<UID>.csv, Import_for_<MM>_<DD>_<UID>.csv.error.log, ETF_errors_<UID>.csv, etc.  Rather than these files filling up my web site root folder, I would like them to be saved to another directory but I don't see where to set the default directory.  The online documentation didn't mention setting the default directory for the files used/created by this process.  How do I set it?
