If you can already upload even when the file exists already on the server, you can also upload a new file. There is no difference (both uses the FTP STOR command).

Your code snippet is creating a directory, not a file.

If you just want to create any file:
There is no such FTP command. A file is created when uploading and a file with that name does not exist yet.
