Subject: FTP folder creation mkdir problem

I log in fine. I move to differnt folders fine. I display everthing
fine, unless i create a directory. I am not well versed in FTP
protocol  i see
"aSession.mkdir( dir ) .."
Issues the corresponding server command and returns the result.
In the chm file, 
and i tried to understand and incorperate the code from
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/vframe.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/73557?73397-74534
even if i use this code it gives me the error. I only get the error,
if i try to do something after creating the file.

The error?:

3) CD
4) Display files & folders
5) Download
6) Upload
7) Make DIR
8) MISS
9) Close session
