Ok I tried both of your suggestions and neither worked exactly. There were a couple of problems with
First, it tried to make a directory called ls. So I replace for file in 'ls' with for file in *.mat. Then it didn't work because it wouldn't let me create a directory with exactly the same name as an existing file name in the parent directory. So I modified it to the following which works almost perfectly.
However, the problem with this is that it makes the directories with the file extensions on them. For example it creates the directory test1.mat in the destination directory instead of just test1. How can i get rid of the .mat in the directory name.
Is there a way to create a directory in some remote location from a local location?
I understand that we can use 'rcp' to copy a local file to a remote location.
I am looking for a command in similar lines which lets us create directories in remote locations.
Could someone help? (5 Replies)

mkdir
MKDIR(1) BSD General Commands Manual MKDIR(1)NAME
mkdir -- make directories
SYNOPSIS
mkdir [-pv] [-m mode] directory_name ...
DESCRIPTION
The mkdir utility creates the directories named as operands, in the order specified, using mode ``rwxrwxrwx'' (0777) as modified by the cur-
rent umask(2).
The options are as follows:
-m mode Set the file permission bits of the final created directory to the specified mode. The mode argument can be in any of the formats
specified to the chmod(1) command. If a symbolic mode is specified, the operation characters '+' and '-' are interpreted relative
to an initial mode of ``a=rwx''.
-p Create intermediate directories as required. If this option is not specified, the full path prefix of each operand must already
exist. On the other hand, with this option specified, no error will be reported if a directory given as an operand already exists.
Intermediate directories are created with permission bits of ``rwxrwxrwx'' (0777) as modified by the current umask, plus write and
search permission for the owner.
-v Be verbose when creating directories, listing them as they are created.
The user must have write permission in the parent directory.
EXIT STATUS
The mkdir utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
Create a directory named foobar:
$ mkdir foobar
Create a directory named foobar and set its file mode to 700:
$ mkdir -m 700 foobar
Create a directory named cow/horse/monkey, creating any non-existent intermediate directories as necessary:
$ mkdir -p cow/horse/monkey
COMPATIBILITY
The -v option is non-standard and its use in scripts is not recommended.
SEE ALSO rmdir(1)STANDARDS
The mkdir utility is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') compatible.
HISTORY
A mkdir command appeared in Version 1 AT&T UNIX.
