NAME

       CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS - create missing dirs 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 will attempt to 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 will attempt to create the remote directory if it can't obtain a handle to  the  target-location.  The  creation
       will fail if a file of the same name as the directory to create already exists or lack of permissions 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
       especially useful if you're 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)
