38 RACADM Subcommands
NOTE: When using FTP, if you provide the full path to the image file on the CLI, then
the CMC uses that path to locate that file on the host. If you do not provide a full
path, then the CMC searches the home directory of the specified user for the file if
the host system is running Linux or another variant of UNIX. If the host system is
running Windows, then a default folder, such as C:\ftproot is searched.
