Very bad. You don't see a difference between directory and a directory on the server part of FTP server.
More importantly, you should always understand the path names — relative to what?

You must have done something wrong, as hte code is exactly as specifyed in the documentation:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.directory.exists.aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=csharp#code-snippet-2[^]

So How do you generate the path string?

You might want to try a different approch then:

Directory.Exists is meant for folders you are allowed to accsess.
