Hi,

Since you are already using SFTP, use SSH for the directory creation:

$ ssh -l ftp_user remote_server "mkdir -p /tmp/abc"

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hello

You can copy /usr/bin/mkdir to /$home/usr/bin directory of restricted ftp user.

By doing this that particular user can create directory in its home directory from ftp prompt.

What is the default shell of the ftp user?
Also check the path it may not know where the mkdir command is?
