Just experiment. Doesn't responseText return an empty string if the folder does not exist?

can you explain the process of creating a folder inside a FTP server?

Are you writing an FTP Server, or an FTP Client?
As an FTP server, you are in charge of making the directories, and thus you could use Directory.Exists() or any other method you chose since you are creating the server.

If you are creating a client, it is the server's responsibility to handle if the directory exists or not and respond to you with success or failure.

Thank you for your reply.
I am using FTP Client. First I need to share some thing with you . Then only you can understand better.

I need to upload large no of files. But Inside that folder there is possibility of folder with folders. Also I am uploading files one by one. For these resons only I need code to check Folder avilable or not and File avilable or not.
Looking for favorable reply

We can create folder in FTP using

folder creation method.

FtpWebRequest reqFTP;
reqFTP = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(new Uri("ftp://" + dirName));
reqFTP.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.MakeDirectory; reqFTP.UseBinary = true;
reqFTP.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(ftpUserID, ftpPassword);
FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)reqFTP.GetResponse();
Stream ftpStream = response.GetResponseStream();

ftpStream.Close();
response.Close();

can you explain the process of creating a folder inside a FTP server?
