| --- |
| When used in conjunction with the --output option, curl creates the necessary |
| local directory hierarchy as needed. This option creates the directories |
| mentioned with the --output option combined with the path possibly set with |
| --output-dir. If the combined output file name uses no directory, or if the |
| directories it mentions already exist, no directories are created. |
| |
| Created directories are made with mode 0750 on unix style file systems. |
| |
| To create remote directories when using FTP or SFTP, try --ftp-create-dirs. |
