May 29 '17 at 17:19

Hello,

i have a working sftp connection to the server. When i try to create the directory

sftp.CreateDir('/SYM/B')

it fails.

I am able to connect via console remotely and create the directory, if a follow these steps:

1. connect
2. cd 'SYM'
3. mkdir 'B'

whereas:

1. connect
2. mkdir 'SYM/B'

fails. which is the correct way to achieve a successful creation of the directory with the component?
