To create a directory on a connected remote host, use the
    CREATE/DIRECTORY command. The following example creates a
    subdirectory LOCAL_ACCTS in the current working directory on
    the connected remote OpenVMS host.

    FTP>  CREATE/DIRECTORY [.LOCAL_ACCTS]

    To delete a directory, use the DELETE/DIRECTORY command as in the
    following example. The command deletes the directory created in
    the preceding example.

    FTP> DELETE/DIRECTORY LOCAL_ACCTS.DIR;*
