CURLOPT_F...SSING_DIRS(3)  Library Functions Manual  CURLOPT_F...SSING_DIRS(3)

NAME
       CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS	-  create  missing directories for FTP
       and SFTP

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<curl/curl.h>

       typedef enum {
	 CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_NONE,
	 CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR,
	 CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY
       } curl_ftpcreatedir;

       CURLcode	curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS,
				 long create);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass a long telling  libcurl  to	 create	 the  dir.  If	the  value  is
       CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR (1), libcurl may create any remote directory that it
       fails to	"move" into.

       For FTP requests, that means a CWD command fails. CWD being the command
       that changes working directory.

       For SFTP	requests, libcurl may create the remote	directory if it	cannot
       obtain a	handle to the target-location. The creation fails if a file of
       the same	name as	the directory to create	already	exists or lack of per-
       missions	prevents creation.

       Setting	create to CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY (2),	tells libcurl to retry
       the CWD command again if	the subsequent MKD command fails. This is  es-
       pecially	 useful	if you are doing many simultaneous connections against
       the same	server and they	all have this option enabled, as then CWD  may
       first  fail but then another connection does MKD	before this connection
       and thus	MKD fails but trying CWD works.

DEFAULT
       CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_NONE (0)

PROTOCOLS
       This functionality affects ftp only

EXAMPLE
       int main(void)
       {
	 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
	 if(curl) {
	   CURLcode res;
	   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL,
			    "ftp://example.com/non-existing/new.txt");
	   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS,
			    (long)CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY);

	   res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

	   curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
	 }
       }

AVAILABILITY
       Added in	curl 7.10.7

RETURN VALUE
       curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.

       CURLE_OK	(0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred,
       see libcurl-errors(3).
