This option creates the directories 20mentioned with the --output option combined with the path possibly set with 21--output-dir. If the combined output filename uses no directory, or if the 22directories it mentions already exist, no directories are created. 23 24Created directories are made with mode 0750 on unix style file systems. 25 26To create remote directories when using FTP or SFTP, try --ftp-create-dirs. 27
