FTP folder creation mkdir problem

[ruby talk]

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?:

try with

r> elsif choice==7 then
r> print "Enter new folder name:\n"
r> nwfold = gets

nwfold = gets.chomp # remove \n at the end

r> $ftp.mkdir(nwfold)

i did
nwfold = gets.strip
I did it every where else. Why would i not do it for that input? I
dont know. Thank you. What really gets me is that it creates the
folder.

Is there a way i could make what they are typing in for the password?
