I'm reading this: http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/using.html Are you calling factory.setRepository(File)? If not, you're getting whatever the default is, which is System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir"), which might actually be "/" in your case. You should probably be doing something like this: ServletContext app = request.getServletContext(); factory.setRepository((File)app.getAttribute("javax.servlet.context.tempdir")); ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory); ... This will allow commons-fileupload to use the spec-defined scratch directory for files your webapp needs to write. Be aware that the spec makes no statements about how much stuff you can shove into that directory, so some containers may limit you in some way (I don't believe Tomcat has any such limits, but YMMV).
