Mapserver OGR Output document http://mapserver.org/output/ogr_output.html says about the formatoption STORAGE=filesystem

''"If “filesystem” then a temporary directory will be created under the IMAGEPATH were the file(s) will be written and then read back to stream to the client."
''
This advise does not take into account the introduction of TEMPPATH for handling temporaty files http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-66.html

Documentation and the corresponding autotest mapfile http://svn.osgeo.org/mapserver/trunk/msautotest/wxs/wfs_ogr.map should be corrected so that they show the correct use of TEMPPATH in the mapfile WEB section. It would not harm to mention also that Mapserver needs read and write access to the TEMPPATH directory.

Documentation of

STORAGE=filesystem
updated in ogr_output for 6.0 and trunk in MapServer/MapServer-documentation@f964715 (r12840). TEMPPATH was documented in MapServer/MapServer-documentation@9d2849e (r12839), mentioning the need for read/write access. Moving to msautotest (consider if TEMPPATH should be used in the WEB object).

Current documentation of OGR Outputformat (MS 7.0)

If “filesystem”, then a directory for temporary files (specified using WEB TEMPPATH or MS_TEMPPATH) will be used for writing and reading back the file(s) to stream to the client.
