Usage Guidelines

You can run the mkdir command to create a subdirectory in a specified directory, and the subdirectory name must be unique.
If no path is specified when you create a subdirectory, the subdirectory is created in the current directory.
The created directory is stored on the SFTP server.
After a directory is created, you can run the dir/ls (SFTP client view) command to view the directory.

The file system has a restriction on the number of files in the root directory. Therefore, if more than 50 files exist in the root directory, creating new files in this directory may fail.
