If you upload a file to a nonexistent FTP directory, the directory is created for you, so you can use that as a workaround:

-- create an empty file in the nonexistent directory:
put empty into URL "ftp://name:password@example.com/newdir/dummy"

-- this creates the directory and the file in it. Now delete the
-- unwanted empty file to leave just the new directory:
delete URL "ftp://name:password@example.com/newdir/dummy"
