FtpCreateDirectory

BOOL FtpCreateDirectory(
    IN HINTERNET hFtpSession,
    IN LPCSTR lpszDirectory
);

Creates a new directory on the FTP server.

• Returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE otherwise. To get a specific error message, call GetLastError. If the error message indicates that the FTP server denied the request to create a directory, use InternetGetLastResponseInfo to determine why.

hFtpSession

Valid handle to an FTP session. This handle must have been returned from a previous call to InternetConnect.

lpszDirectory

Address of a null-terminated string that contains the name of the directory to create on the remote system. This can be either a fully qualified path or a name relative to the current directory.

An application should use FtpGetCurrentDirectory to determine the remote site's current working directory, instead of assuming that the remote system uses a hierarchical naming scheme for directories.

The lpszDirectory parameter can be either partially or fully qualified file names relative to the current directory. A backslash (\) or forward slash (/) can be used as the directory separator for either name. FtpCreateDirectory translates the directory name separators to the appropriate character before they are used.
