Add Internet permission to your AndroidManifest.xml file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="app.upload">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"

        <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

Great.. 👍 

Now we code into Java. And your java file looks like that.

import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;

import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        new CreateDir().execute();
    }

    static class CreateDir extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
        String TAG = "MAIN_ACTIVITY";

        @Override
        protected Void doInBackground(Void... voids) {

            String server = "XXX.XX.XX.XXX"; // YOUR IP ADDRESS OR DOMAIN NAME EX - http://example.com OR https://example.com
            String username = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX"; // Your ftp username EX - root OR Ubuntu or XYZ
            String password = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"; // Your ftp password EX - NCSJN123 OR *#&YBSUSDN

            FTPClient ftpClient = new FTPClient();
            try {
                ftpClient.connect(server);
                ftpClient.login(username, password);
                ftpClient.enterLocalPassiveMode();

                Log.d(TAG, "CONNECTED");

                String dirPath = "/public_html/upload_files/new_dir";
                boolean created = ftpClient.makeDirectory(dirPath);

                Log.d(TAG, String.valueOf(created));

                ftpClient.logout();
                ftpClient.disconnect();

                Log.d(TAG, "DISCONNECTED");
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            return null;
        }
    }
}
