Remarks

By default, the folder will be created in the current working folder. If you want to create the folder in another location, you could use the ChangeCurrentFolder and/or ChangeToParentFolder methods to change the current working folder. Absolute paths can also be provided, however some FTP servers might not support absolute paths and different server types may have different ways of representing absolute paths.

The current working folder can be retrieved via the GetCurrentFolder method.

The CreateFolder method will send the MKD command to the FTP server.
