# Change load generator TEMP folder

This section describes how to manually change the default TEMP folder used by the load generator to store data during a test run. The TEMP folder is predefined, and is based on the load generator installation folder.

Why change the location of the folder?

- The TEMP folder also contains the script. Depending on the machine and the script, this path can get long, and exceed the character limitation set by Windows.

- You want to use a different folder or drive instead of the default one.

Note: You cannot change the TEMP folder location if your load generator is configured over a firewall, regardless of whether the firewall is enabled or not.

Before changing the TEMP folder

Note the following before changing the TEMP folder used by the load generator:

- The change is made on the host that is serving as a Controller. Therefore, such change applies only to the load generators using this Controller.

- If you are using the same load generators with a new Controller, you need to reapply this change on the new Controller.

To change the TEMP folder:

1. Sign in to the host machine.

2. Verify that the Wlrun.exe process is down.

3. Open <LG installation folder>\config\Wlrun7.ini in a text editor.

4. Add the line "UserRemoteTmpDir=<Custom temp location>" under the '[Host]' section

5. Save the change.
