Fake directory

I have a website running already, but I do not want to install WordPress on it, is there a way I can create a "fake" directory in my ftp client, which is CyberDuck, on which I can install WordPress to, for example my site is juliansamarjiev.com, I want to install WordPress to juliansamarjiev.com/wordpress? Thanks

Just exactly how you have described it :) Create a new folder/directory at the root of your site (usually right click > create directory), then follow these instructions on how to install WordPress. Just make sure you set the WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL constants to that directory in your wp-config.php file.
