c: Copyright (C) Daniel Stenberg, daniel@haxx.se, et al. SPDX-License-Identifier: curl Long: create-dirs Help: Create necessary local directory hierarchy Category: output Added: 7.10.3 Multi: boolean See-also:

  • ftp-create-dirs
  • output-dir Example:
  • --create-dirs --output local/dir/file $URL ---

--create-dirs

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 filename 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.
