Automatically create a directory on a remote server

Automation Workshop includes the Create Remote Directory Action that can make a directory on a remote server. The new directories can be created using FTP, SFTP, and FTPS protocols, or on cloud storages, such as Amazon S3 storage, DigitalOcean Spaces, Google Cloud Platform Storage.

The Create Remote Directory Action is usually combined with other FTP & Cloud Actions, for instance, the Upload File, Synchronize Files, and Remote SSH Command Actions. If a multi-level directory name is provided, the missing intermediate directories are automatically created.
