I'm a newbie to FTP. I want to create a folder if it doesn't exists already. I know there is an option "mkdir -p foldername", but doing this in ftp creates a folder by the name "-p". I'm trying to transfer files from one remote server to another via ftp and create folders in receiving server if not already present.

One solution would be to always attempt to create the folder - and then ignore any errors. Of course, after creating the folder you need to cd into it - if that gives an error then you've got bigger problems.
The -p option in the shell mkdir is there to ensure no error is raised. FTP doesn't use the shell: it does it for itself.
