End user files uploaded to sftp getting stored in tomcat root directory

[Farash Ahamad]

Dear All,

I am observing there and several documents (pdf, png, jpeg, etc) which the
end user uploads in the application getting stored in tomcat / directory.

I would like to understand whether this is a bug in the application code or
in tomcat.

Application based on: Java Spring Boot 2.1.3
Tomcat version: 9.0.41
OS Version: RHEL 7.9
Document Destination: SFTP server (Unified gluster FS through Serv-U)

Appreciate your help.

Thanks & Regards,
Farash Ahamad
