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
