DownloadTempFileclass
Downloadable temporary file descriptor. We create this object when the program calls inputFile() to ask for a writable file. This lets the caller create and write a temporary file on the server side; when the caller is done with the file, we’ll offer the file for download to the client through the UI.

getFilename ( )
File spec interface. This allows the DownloadTempFile to be used as though it were a filename string.
When the object is passed to one of the File.open methods, or to saveGame(), setScriptFile(), etc., the system will call our getFilename() method to determine the actual underlying file. We’ll return our temporary file object.
When the underlying file is closed, the system calls our closeFile() method to notify us.
