| --- |
| When used in conjunction with the --output option, curl will create the |
| necessary local directory hierarchy as needed. This option creates the |
| directories mentioned with the --output option, nothing else. If the --output |
| file name uses no directory, or if the directories it mentions already exist, |
| no directories will be created. |
| |
| Created dirs are made with mode 0750 on unix style file systems. |
| |
| To create remote directories when using FTP or SFTP, try --ftp-create-dirs. |
