Hi,

Use below code:Make sure that you have write permission on remote location you have specified. This example also creates a file under that folder.

public class CreateFileOrFolder
{
    static void Main()
    {       
        string folderName = "\\\\domain\\site\\folderlocation\\foldername";

         System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(folderName);

        // Create a new file name. This example generates
        // a random string.
        string newFileName = System.IO.Path.GetRandomFileName();

        // Combine the new file name with the path
        newPath = System.IO.Path.Combine(folderName, newFileName);

        }
}

string path= @ "\\servername or IPAddress\\foldername \\"

You'll need to be running with credentials the remote server
understands and can authenticate.

One way to do this is to run the http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t85011-create-folder-in-remote-server.html#.NET worker process under a http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t85011-create-folder-in-remote-server.html#
account with permissions on the remote server.

public string[] GetFileList()
{
    string[] downloadFiles;
    StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
    FtpWebRequest reqFTP;
    try
    {
        reqFTP = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(new Uri(
                  "ftp://" + ftpServerIP + "/"));
        reqFTP.UseBinary = true;
        reqFTP.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(ftpUserID,
                                                   ftpPassword);
        reqFTP.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectory;
        WebResponse response = reqFTP.GetResponse();
        StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response
                                        .GetResponseStream());
       
        string line = reader.ReadLine();
        while (line != null)
        {
            result.Append(line);
            result.Append("\n");
            line = reader.ReadLine();
        }
        // to remove the trailing '\n'
        result.Remove(result.ToString().LastIndexOf('\n'), 1);
        reader.Close();
        response.Close();
        return result.ToString().Split('\n');
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
        downloadFiles = null;
        return downloadFiles;
    }
}
