Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

By executing the mkdir command creates a subdirectory. The new remote directory name cannot have the same name as any other subdirectory or file in the specified directory.

Prerequisites

You can create a new directory in remote machine only if you have access in the remote system.

Configuration Impact

After a subdirectory is created, either of the following situations may occur:

If no path is specified, a subdirectory is created in the current directory.
If a path is specified, a subdirectory is created in either an absolute path or a relative path.

Example

# Create a new directory named new_folder.

<HUAWEI> ftp 10.18.26.133
[ftp] mkdir new_folder
