This option creates the directories 13 mentioned with the --output option combined with the path possibly set with 14 --output-dir. If the combined output file name uses no directory, or if the 15 directories it mentions already exist, no directories are created. 16 17 Created directories are made with mode 0750 on unix style file systems. 18 19 To create remote directories when using FTP or SFTP, try --ftp-create-dirs. 20
