I guess it should be pretty straigh forward,you can use the following snippet to create directories on FTP and call the CreateDirectoryOnFtp method wherever you want to make a Directory:

static void CreateDirectoryOnFTP(String inFTPServerAndPath, String inUsername, String inPassword, String inNewDirectory)
        {
            // Step 1 - Open a request using the full URI, ftp://ftp.server.tld/path/file.ext
            FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(inFTPServerAndPath + "/" + inNewDirectory);
 
            // Step 2 - Configure the connection request
            request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(inUsername, inPassword);
            request.UsePassive = true;
            request.UseBinary = true;
            request.KeepAlive = false;
 
            request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.MakeDirectory;
 
            // Step 3 - Call GetResponse() method to actually attempt to create the directory
            FtpWebResponse makeDirectoryResponse = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
        }

A fundamental rule in technology says whatever can be done will be done
