This command creates a directory on the local or a remote system, if it does not exist.
The function automatically creates path elements leading to the specified directory location. To specify a remote host, prefix the pathname with the hostname followed by two colons (::). The operation is performed through SFTP. Thus the remote system does not necessarily have the client AutoShell installed, an SSH server with SFTP access is sufficient.
The command has the following syntax:
mkdir d [-silent] [-user username] [-pass password] [-key key phrase] [-port portnumber]
Defines the name of the new directory.
(Optional) The command suppresses any output to stdout.
(Optional) Specifies the user name to log in to the remote node. A user name is required for password or public key authentication. If no user name is specified, the user name entered during AutoShell login is used. Unquoted argument tokens are automatically stringified. Prevent automatic quoting for expressions by placing expression code in parentheses.
Default: $$User
(Optional) Specifies password to use to log in to the remote node. If no password is specified, the password entered during AutoShell login is used. To enter a hidden password after issuing this command, specify PW_GET() with an optional prompt as argument. Unquoted argument tokens are automatically stringified. Prevent automatic quoting for expressions by placing expression code in parentheses.
Default: $$Pass
(Optional) Specifies an absolute or relative path to a file containing a private RSA key to use to log in to the remote node. If a private key and a password are specified, AutoShell attempts a public key logon first, and if that fails, a password logon. Unquoted argument tokens are automatically stringified. Prevent automatic quoting for expressions by placing expression code in parentheses. This parameter is only required when creating an SSH session on the fly using public key authentication.
Default: ""
Specifies the passphrase for a private key. If the key is not encrypted, the phrase is not required. To enter a hidden password after issuing this command, specify PW_GET() with an optional prompt as argument. Unquoted argument tokens are automatically stringified. Prevent automatic quoting for expressions by placing expression code in parentheses.
Default: ""
(Optional) Port on which to connect to the target system.
Default: SSH standard port 22.
Examples
Create directory c:\temp\xyz:
mkdir c:\temp\xyz
Create a directory on the remote server ascl1:
mkdir ascl1::/home/alice/data
Create directory temp as subdirectory of current working directory, but suppress any output to stdout:
mkdir temp -silent
