Yes it is possible. 

 

Unfortunately the LV Internet toolkit FTP-package does not offer a VI exclusively for this purpose.

 

You need to use the NI_InternetTK_FTP_VIs.lvlib:FTP Command.vi combined with an open FTP-session.

This allows you to use the standard FTP-commands shown in the link below.

You want to use:

MKD - make a remote directory

 

The snippet below requires the LV Internet Toolkit.

Good luck!

I believe there is a VI to execute MKD, but it is not on the palettes. The function is named:

 

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\vi.lib\addons\internet\ftp\ftp1.llb\FTP [MKD].vi
