Apart from this, are there any other things to be changed/noted before uploading it on to server?

The usual linux temp directory is simply \tmp

I don't think the choice of path is particularly important, so long as it exists and is writeable by Drupal. The help text from Drupal's admin panel tells you what it's used for: QUOTE A file system path where uploaded files will be stored during previews. If you transfer to Trap17's hosting then you probably won't be able to use /tmp as the path, so set it to a folder within your Drupal installation and CHMOD it to allow Drupal to read and write files in that folder.

Yes, I was thinking how would system path work for Drupal. Thanks for clarifying this. As you said, I created a folder in Drupal installation root. But what should I Chmod this so that its not accessible by world. Does Drupal need Owner or Group permission to access the folder? I mean should I chmod to 755 or 775 or something else. And one more thing, when entering the path in the field, should it be system path or web path? Just in case I would also disable access to robots in robots.txt.
