This script command creates a new local folder. Consider the following example in which a folder is created on the E: drive.

 

MAKEDIR "e:\newbie"

 

Folders may be created only one level at a time. For example, if you wanted to create a new subfolder under a new folder named e:\newbie, it would require two MAKEDIR commands as shown below:

 

MAKEDIR "e:\newbie\subfolder"    ;;WRONG!

;; do it this way:

MAKEDIR "e:\newbie"  

MAKEDIR "e:\newbie\subfolder"

 

To create a directory on an FTP site, use the FTPMAKEDIR script command.
