Description

I was experimenting with this directive and uploaded a hosts file to the share. I then specified that this file should be downloaded to the /tmp directory (screenshot attached). The selected "recursion level of the copy" did not seem to matter, nor did putting a trailing slash after the destination ( as in "/tmp/"). What I got was the /tmp directory being renamed to /tmp_1488367735_Wed_Mar__1_06_28_59_2017.cfsaved and the hosts file being renamed to /tmp. On this server /tmp is not a separate partition.

Is this behavior expected? It seems a bit dangerous.
