Creates directory(s) on a FTP server using the SmartPill PHP plug-in.

If you need to create a path to a directory but aren't sure if the parent folders have been created, use this function to create the path all the way to your needed directory (call ftp_mkdir() directly if you know the parent directories are already created).

Requires the SmartPill PHP plug-in from Scodigo.
