ftp mkdir creates the directory, but returns false

[eluser]dailygrind[/eluser]

Code:

$this->ftp->mkdir('/whatever');

returns false (and generates an error), but it creates the directory correctly. It doesn't look like a CI issue though, because the PHP ftp_mkdir function actually returns false.

Any idea why?

thanks for helping

Look at your path and then look below at the path!
Also if you turn debug on in your config file it should display its own error message.

Code:

// Creates a folder named "bar"
$this->ftp->mkdir('/public_html/foo/bar/', DIR_WRITE_MODE);

Insitefx is quoting from the User Guide, FTP class: (emphasis mine)

...
$this->ftp->mkdir()

Lets you create a directory on your server. Supply the path ending in the folder name you wish to create, <b>with a trailing slash</b>. Permissions can be set by passed an octal value in the second parameter.

Code:

// Creates a folder named "bar"
$this->ftp->mkdir('/public_html/foo/bar/', DIR_WRITE_MODE);
