Connect to an FTP server and make a folder. Navigate to that folder and upload a file. This example shows a hypothetical FTP session on ftp.example.com, a machine that does not exist. If you access an FTP server that grants you permission to upload files and make folders on that server, then you can use the mkdir function as shown in this example.

First, connect to the server.

s = ftp('ftp.example.com')

FTP with properties:

                         Host: "ftp.example.com"
                     Username: "anonymous"
                         Port: 21
                 ServerLocale: "en_GB"
                 DirParserFcn: @matlab.io.ftp.parseDirListingForUnix
                         Mode: "binary"
    LocalDataConnectionMethod: "passive"
       RemoteWorkingDirectory: "/"

Display the contents of the current folder on the FTP server.

dir(s)

 
myscript.m                  README.txt                pub

Make a folder named scripts.

Display the updated contents of the current folder, including the new scripts folder.

dir(s)
