Update: Figured out the issue. I had misunderstood how to reference the remote path. Now when I use
mySession.CreateDirectory("example.com/test2")

it works fine.

Btw, thanks for a cool piece of software with a working API

Thanks for your response.

I did try using

mySession.CreateDirectory("/test2") i.e. without the slash as well.

I feel like I am missing something really simple here so maybe a specific example would be easier.
Let's say my domain is
"www.example.com"

and I want to add the directory
"test2"

The code:

Dim mySession As New Session
Dim mySessionOptions As New SessionOptions

With mySessionOptions
.Protocol = Protocol_Ftp
.HostName = "example.com"
.UserName = "user"
.Password = "password"

End With

mySession.Open mySessionOptions

'Until this point the code works fine.

mySession.CreateDirectory ("/test2") 'DOES NOT WORK
mySession.CreateDirectory ("/test2/") 'DOES NOT WORK
mySession.CreateDirectory ("test2") 'DOES NOT WORK
mySession.CreateDirectory ("test2/") 'DOES NOT WORK



What code do I need to add to create the directory "test2" for domain "www.example.com"?

How to exactly specify the path. My relative path "/test/" works fine when uploading a file but fails when using

Try just "/test" (no trailing slash).

(Btw, the "/test/" seems like an absolute path to me).

How can I implement error checking and confirmation similar to how it is done for uploads?

The Session.CreateDirectory throw an exception on any error.

As an FYI, simply doing:

session.CreateDirectory(path) e.g.

Dim mySession as Session
mySession.CreateDirectory("/test2/")

does not work either. Returns an error saying the folder could not be created.

I can get the Upload example to work fine.

So best case scenario, I would like an example that includes:
Which object to declare?
My assumption is RemoteDirectoryInfo but I really don't know
e.g.
Dim newDir as RemoteDirectoryInfo

Uploads can use code like:
' Throw on any error
transferResult.Check

' Display results
Dim transfer As TransferEventArgs
For Each transfer In transferResult.Transfers
MsgBox "Upload of " & transfer.FileName & " succeeded"
Next

I would like to be able to do the same for checking if the directory was created before resuming the rest of the procedure.

Thankful for any help.
