To make a directory under Linux operating systems using the command prompt or shell, We need to use the mkdir command to create new folders or directories under Linux operating systems.
mkdir command Syntax
mkdir dirname
OR
mkdir dirname1 dirname2
Login to your server via ssh and use the mkdir command to create empty directories. The following command would create a directory called test:
mkdir foo
To list directories:
ls ls -l
The following command would create two directories within the current directory:
mkdir cppl cmab ls -l
The -p option allows you to create parent directories as needed :
mkdir -p ~/public_html/cppl/images
