# `--create-dirs`

When used in conjunction with the --output option, curl creates the necessary
local directory hierarchy as needed. This option creates the directories
mentioned with the --output option combined with the path possibly set with
--output-dir. If the combined output filename uses no directory, or if the
directories it mentions already exist, no directories are created.

Created directories are made with mode 0750 on Unix-style file systems.

To create remote directories when using FTP or SFTP, try --ftp-create-dirs.
