Re: creating a directory remotely implicitly

I guess you're using the OpenSSH package.

If so, it allows you to run remote commands using the ->system method. So, to create a remote directory before copying, you could run:

$ssh->system(qq{mkdir "$remote_dir"});

how can that be done ? According to the mkdir(1) manual page, using the option `-p` creates the parent directories of the target. Thus, `$ssh->system(qq{mkdir -p "$remote_dir"});` will do the trick. perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'	[reply] [d/l] [select]
