CreateDirectory Method

public override string CreateDirectory(
   string path
)

Public Overrides Function CreateDirectory( _
   ByVal path As String _
) As String

public:
  String CreateDirectory(
   String^ path
); override

Parameters

path

The name of the directory to create. Some FTP servers may be case-sensitive.

Return Value

Remarks

This method implements FTP MKD command.

By default, the directory will be created in the current working directory. If you want to create the directory in another location, you could use the SetCurrentDirectory method to change the current working directory. 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 directory can be retrieved via the GetCurrentDirectory method.

CAUTION: The reply codes for MKD command represents the absolute path of the freshly created directory as stated in RFC 959. However, many FTP servers do not comply with the requirement. In this case, the method returns a null reference.
