Is it just me or is the documentation on this project really scarce?

I'm trying to find how to use the FtpCreateRemoteDirectory and FTP functionality in general, but can't seem to find anything.

Googling FtpCreateRemoteDirectory, only shows the project's source code...

The documentation is like you say really scarce. The best I found is to download the latest source code here : https://github.com/loresoft/msbuildtasks

The latest documentation can also be viewed via GitHub directly without downloading the source: https://github.com/loresoft/msbuildtasks/tree/master/Documentation

If installed using the MSI, you can also look at the XSD found in the installation folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\MSBuildCommunityTasks\MSBuild.Community.Tasks.xsd) to at least see which tasks are avaialable to you and the documentation connected with them.
