Hi! The FireFTP help says to mkdir, right-click on the file list and a context menu will open, but I have a one-button Mac, and the usual thing I do to simulate right-click--control-click--isn't working. I also tried the Custom Command tool and entered in mkdir <foldername> and it says mkdir command not understood. How do I mkdir, on the remote file system, using FireFTP on a Mac? Thanks!

Never mind, I figured it out. Sorry for the noise. (Though an explanation of the distinction between the file list and the folder list in that help string would probably be helpful; plus, it's disconcerting to have to click on something in the file list to create a new folder: it makes me worry that the new folder will either be placed inside the folder I've right clicked on, or that the file I've right clicked on will be placed in the new folder, neither of which I want. In other words, a more precise description of precisely what to do and the effect it will have would be better, IMO.)
