VMS Help TCPIP Services, FTP, Creating and Deleting Directories  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    To create a directory on a connected remote host, use the
    CREATE/DIRECTORY command. The following command 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;*
