Hi faulk,
This is strange. I just tested with your variable and I do get the 30082011 folder.
I tested it on version 5.7.3. Which version do you use?

If you test with a execute task and use these settings:
command: c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
arguments: /c mkdir \var\www\{DATEFORMAT(ddMMyyyy)}
will the directory be created?

Hi faulk,
You might want to try to upload files from a higher level and check the include subfolder checkbox here.
This would create the directory I think.
There is also a create directory option in the ftp task, so this can also do the trick.
You can still you the execute task first and you the output of this task as a variable in your create ftp folder task, but I don't see why the normal dateformat variable isn't working in the create ftp folder task.

Erik
