 Ant's ftp "mkdir" does not create subdirectories

           Summary:  Ant's ftp "mkdir" does not create subdirectories
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Optional Tasks
        AssignedTo: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jayceeamm@yahoo.com


Please refer below my question and replies from jGuru forum.

Hi,
I am using ftp task with Ant 5.1. FTP connects fine but is 
unable to create sub-directory under existing directories. I also tried 
creating directory tree like /some/directory but no luck. It, though, creates 
directory at ftp's default root.
Below is the task xml.. 

 <ftp action="mkdir"
      server="10.32.66.50"
       userid="some"
       password="user" 
       remotedir="\MOE\MOE${DSTAMP}" />
 

Where "MOE" and "MOE${DSTAMP}" are 2 new folders to be created. 
It won't raise any error, instead it creates "MOE${DSTAMP}" folder on default 
root directory.
And yes..I had been through all Ant help docs before posting this 
question :^) .. 
Any help on this is highly appreciated.

<ftp> does, however, create directory structures when you are uploading files - 
so if that is your intention then just go ahead and upload a directory 
structure matching what you want to create.

Thanks Erik. I want ftp to always create sub-directory under existing directory 
called "MOE".
I tried uploading full directory structure as "\MOE\MOE${DSTAMP}", but still it 
creates directory "MOE{DSTAMP}" under default root and not under "MOE".
Here is the full build.xml file. 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="MyMOE" default="dist" basedir=".">
  <!-- set global properties for this build -->

Forward slash raises error "direcotry not found!". Our ftp server requires 
backslash. 
I wish, ftp supported command like "change directory" which I could have used 
to change to existing folder after logging on to default root dir. 
I even tried "chmod 777" on my folder, but it didn't help.
Thanks.
