The ant manual is wrong - the name should be 'default home directory'.
At least, if you log in as a normal user. Then you can wander all over
the entire filesystem. If you use an anonymous account, you can only
see a part of the filesystem.
If you'd try this:
<ant:ftp action="mkdir" server="${maven.remote.machine}"
userid="${maven.remote.user}" password="${maven.remote.password}"
remotedir="/tmp/TEST"
/>
then the directory /tmp/TEST should be created.

My guess is that you work on a windows machine, and ${maven.build.dir}
is something like
C:\Documents\ And\ Settings\YourUserName\Desktop\Work\YourProject
which is not a valid unix path.
You should have a path like
/path/to/directory/you/want/to/create
for an absolute path, or
directory/in/your/home/directory
.
Usually the ftp task is used for publishing websites and artifacts.
(see maven-jar-plugin et.al.)
You can test this all out using <echo>${maven.build.dir}</echo>
and trying to create that directory by hand using the windows ftp client.
But that's probably not the directory you want to create.
O, and about your signature: ofcourse, I understand it's something you
cannot change - just wanted to point out that that policy makes no sense
when you send mail to an archived list ;)
