Creating a directory on remote FTP using powershell

I use function Create-FtpDirectory

function Create-FtpDirectory {
  param(
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
    [string]
    $sourceuri,
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
    [string]
    $username,
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
    [string]
    $password
  )
  if ($sourceUri -match '\\$|\\\w+$') { throw 'sourceuri should end with a file name' }
  $ftprequest = [System.Net.FtpWebRequest]::Create($sourceuri);
  $ftprequest.Method = [System.Net.WebRequestMethods+Ftp]::MakeDirectory
  $ftprequest.UseBinary = $true

  $ftprequest.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($username,$password)

  $response = $ftprequest.GetResponse();

  Write-Host Upload File Complete, status $response.StatusDescription

  $response.Close();
}

Taken from Ftp.psm1 where you can find also other functions for FTP.

To others: sorry for not following well known verb-noun pattern. ;)
