Guidelines
The default-directory command specifies the current working directory for all
users of this FTP server. This directory will be the initial working directory after
users connect and authenticate. When using a virtual file system and the working
directory is not the root directory, the specified directory must be one of the
configured virtual directories.

filesystem
Controls the file system type that is presented by the FTP server.
Syntax
filesystem {virtual-ephemeral | virtual-persistent | transparent}
Parameters
virtual-ephemeral
virtual-persistent
transparent
Guidelines
The filesystem command controls whether the FTP server presents a virtual file
system that is configured locally or transparently shows the file system on the FTP
server.
If virtual-ephemeral or virtual-persistent is chosen, the client can write files to all
directories. These files are shown in directory listings but cannot be retrieved. For
file system responses, the responses are shown and can be retrieved, renamed, or
deleted.
If transparent is chosen, the file system will show the contents of the equivalent
path of the server on the FTP server.

Command Reference
The FTP server will have an ephemeral virtual file system with
subdirectories created by configuration. The contents of this file system are
private to an individual FTP control connection to the FTP server.
The contents of this file system will not persist after this FTP control
connection ends.
The FTP server will have a persistent virtual file system with
subdirectories created by configuration. The contents of this file system are
shared by all FTP control connections to this FTP server with the same
authenticated user identity. The user identity is determined by the FTP
user name and, if used, by the TLS/SSL certificate.
The contents of this file system will persist (for the duration defined by the
persistent-filesystem-timeout) after all FTP control connections end.
This mode is required to support checkpoint/restart with the REST
command.
The FTP server has a transparent file system. The files and directories
shown are those on the FTP server.
