The F5 never received the -s option. That is a client option, used by the FTP program you are using. The F5 would only receive the commands in the file they the client is parsing using that option.

If you are "sometimes" seeing uses, is that with different users attempting to FTP? How is the FTP profile and any persistence configured?
