mkdir - Make Directory

CODE:

---

$ mkdir [options] [newdir]

The mkdir command is used to create a new directory on your server via SSH.

For example:

CODE:

---

$ mkdir /newdir

---

Will create a new directory called newdir in /.

CODE:

---

$ mkdir -m 444 /newdir

---

Using the "-m" (mode) option when creating the new directory will set the new directory with "444" (Read-only) permissions.

CODE:

---

$ mkdir -p /a/new/dir

---

Using the "-p" (parents) option means when creating the directory it will also create the parent directories if they do not exist.
