    First launch the file manager by clicking on "Places" in the top menu and selecting "Home Folder". From there click on "File System" on the left part and that will take you to the / directory, from there you'll see /tmp, which you can then browse to.

  2. Type nautilus /tmp in terminal it will open /tmp

    Or Goto My Computer--->File System

    All the system files and folders including tmp will be located there.

  3. /tmp is located under the root file system (/). If you want to access it using Nautilus windoe manager (GUI) use the above suggestion. if you want to access it via Command Line Interface (CLI), just open a terminal (depending to your user interface: GNOME or KDE) and type cd /tmp. You should be there in a jiffy :)

  4. If you are trying to access the files downloaded by flash, they have been moved to the browser cache instead of the /tmp folder.

    For Chromium this means:

    ~/.cache/chromium/Cache/

    For Chrome:

    ~/.cache/google-chrome/Cache/

    For Firefox:

    ~/.mozilla/firefox/<some-random-string>.default/Cache/
