Here is the scenario: 1) Install optional WebDav/FTP plug-ins 2) Create a project 'test'. 3) Create a file 'test.txt' in the project and enter some random text. Save. 4) Share the project using target management. Select FTP protocol. 5) Specify a known FTP server URL. 6) Create a new folder on the server using 'Create Folder'. Accept the default name (test). 7) Finish. 8) Synchronize the project. You will get an overlay that 'test.txt' will be added to the server. Upload. At this point, the behaviour depends on the FTP server. If the server is some Unix or Linux box, it will work well. However, if the server is a Windows 2000 machine with an IIS-based FTP server, there will be differences: 1) When 'Create Folder' is pressed, everything seems fine (check on the server shows that 'test' folder is indeed created), but the folder object does not appear in the view as a child of the site object. 2) The folder does not show up in the 'Targets' view as a child of the site object either. 3) Upload will put all the files directly under the FTP url, not in the specified folder. Did you test the support with IIS FTP server? Can you try it with your own and verify that it works for you? If yes, I will inspect mine to see what is different.
