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)

create_directory
create directory(1m) create directory(1m)NAME
create directory - Creates a directory
SYNOPSIS
cdscp create directory directory-name [clearinghouse clearinghouse-name]
ARGUMENTS
The full name of the directory The name of the clearinghouse in which you create the directory.
DESCRIPTION
The create directory command creates a directory with the name that you specify. If you do not specify a clearinghouse, CDS creates the
master replica of the directory in the same clearinghouse as the new directory's parent directory.
Privilege Required
You must have the following permissions in order to create a directory: read and insert permission to the parent directory; write permis-
sion to the clearinghouse in which the master replica of the new directory is to be stored.
In addition, the server principal must have read and insert permission to the parent directory.
NOTES
To ensure that all replicas are consistent, perform an immediate skulk of the parent directory after issuing this command.
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.
EXAMPLE
The following command creates a directory named /.:/sales. cdscp> create directory /.:/sales
