If you believe that you should not need admin rights to create the directory, you should contact the server provider. WinSCP (as a client) does not control permissions, obviously.

Re: "Create Folder" Error on Netware OpenSSH and workaround
Please post a full log file showing the problem.
To generate log file, enable logging, log in to your server and do the operation and only the operation that causes the error. For posting extensive logs you may use pastebin or similar application. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you may email it to me. You will find my address (if you log in) in my forum profile. Please include link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have emailed the log.

"Create Folder" Error on Netware OpenSSH and workaround
Near every time I get this error message box:
The 'New folder' was created anyway, wether "Abort", "Retry" nor Skip is pressed and there is no entry in sshd.log. No difference when creating with or without permissions 0644 or 0777, the new folder is every time 0777, Group "0 [0]", Owner "Admin [32934]".
Logging in as Admin gave me success. The workaround is to give Supervisor-Trustees to the WinSCP user group for all volumes and/or folders of interest.
