On Linux, Mac OS X and other *nix flavours, the folder separator is / not \, so there isn't any need to escape anything, some/path/of/folders.

Also, you can use the /tmp folder for your temporary files.

Finally, on *nix systems, the home directory is usually represented by ~ or is in the environment variable HOME.
