Easy enough to do locally, but in this case I need to do it on a server,
and via FTP commands.
And worse, I may need to do it hundreds of times.
I can get the list of folders in a server directly via tsNet's function
for that, and can use the relevant FTP commands to create folders in the
path I need as I go.
But beyond the time it would add to write all that stuff I've become
accustomed just having happen automatically with libURL, I'm also
concerned about the additional time required for all those multiple
calls to the server to make those directories so that I can eventually
get back to just uploading files into them.
