Hey,
I created a program to upload any file on my ftp server. Is there any way i can modify this code to create a new directory (for example a directory named "images") and then upload the file to that directory?

Public Class ftpuploader1

    Private Sub UploadButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles UploadButton.Click
        Try
            My.Computer.Network.UploadFile(TextBox3.Text, ftp.Text + ftplink.Text + "/" + Label5.Text, TextBox1.Text, TextBox2.Text, True, 500)
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.Message)
        End Try

        TextBox4.Text = "http://" + link.Text + "/" + Label5.Text

    End Sub

    Private Sub BrowseFile_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BrowseFile.Click

        OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
        OpenFileDialog1.Title = "Chose a File"
        TextBox3.Text = OpenFileDialog1.FileName
        Label5.Text = OpenFileDialog1.SafeFileName
    End Sub

End Class

Basicaly i want to know how i could create a new directory on the ftp server from this program itself and den upload the file to the directory that i created

Please help! Thanks

Please stop building your paths like that.
System.IO.Path.Combine() was designed specifically for this purpose and will compensate for missing or extra divider characters (/)


You want to force the server to create a directory, from your client that is sending the file?

I'm reasonably certain you would have to first issue the commands to create directory then set that as your path. Just like if you moved a file on your local PC programmatically: You can't just specify a path that doesn't yet exist and expect the OS to make all the intermediate directories for you.

I suggest using the FTP web request objects for ftp work. Much simpler, and was intended for such use.

FTP Web Request

This can handle sending ftp commands and such.
