mkdir -p option in SFTP session

Hi,

I am trying to create more than one directory by using -p option in SFTP session.
But it created a directory named -p and ended.

It didn't throw any error.
Code:
sxxxxxxx:(abc)/test> sftp abcuser@zxxxxxxx
Connecting to zxxxxxxx...
Password:
sftp> pwd
Remote working directory: /test
sftp> cd /test/test1/test2/test3
sftp> mkdir -p /test/test1/test2/test3/test4/test5/test6/test7
sftp> bye


zxxxxxxx:(abc)/test/test1/test2/test3> ls
-p
zxxxxxxx:(abc)/test/test1/test2/test3> ls -lrt
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   2 abcuser users         96 Sep 27 10:09 -p

I will get that directory at run time from the user.

Please let me know how to create more than one directories using single commad in SFTP session.

Regards,
gthangavSmilie

SFTP-SERVER(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					    SFTP-SERVER(8)

NAME
sftp-server -- SFTP server subsystem SYNOPSIS
sftp-server [-ehR] [-f log_facility] [-l log_level] [-u umask] DESCRIPTION
sftp-server is a program that speaks the server side of SFTP protocol to stdout and expects client requests from stdin. sftp-server is not intended to be called directly, but from sshd(8) using the Subsystem option. Command-line flags to sftp-server should be specified in the Subsystem declaration. See sshd_config(5) for more information. Valid options are: -e Causes sftp-server to print logging information to stderr instead of syslog for debugging. -f log_facility Specifies the facility code that is used when logging messages from sftp-server. The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH, LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2, LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7. The default is AUTH. -h Displays sftp-server usage information. -l log_level Specifies which messages will be logged by sftp-server. The possible values are: QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, DEBUG1, DEBUG2, and DEBUG3. INFO and VERBOSE log transactions that sftp-server performs on behalf of the client. DEBUG and DEBUG1 are equivalent. DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each specify higher levels of debugging output. The default is ERROR. -R Places this instance of sftp-server into a read-only mode. Attempts to open files for writing, as well as other operations that change the state of the filesystem, will be denied. -u umask Sets an explicit umask(2) to be applied to newly-created files and directories, instead of the user's default mask. For logging to work, sftp-server must be able to access /dev/log. Use of sftp-server in a chroot configuration therefore requires that syslogd(8) establish a logging socket inside the chroot directory. SEE ALSO
