That's weird because as far as i can remember, I've already made package with
only one command in GLPI but i can't remember what are the requirements.
I should check that ...

Actually no but you can workaround this by issuing a file copy or move
in your actions.

Every files downloaded by the agent are stored in a working directory
after multiparts concatenation.
The commands are running in the same working directory.

Like i said earlier, files are always stored in the deploy workdir.
You can use the 'copy' or 'move' actions in order to circumvent this behaviour.

They normally are deleted whenever the job is completed or in error.
The only exception is when P2P is enabled : the dowloaded files marked
as P2P are kept until the retention period.
