--create-dirs

When used in conjunction with the --output option, curl creates the necessary local directory hierarchy as needed. This option creates the directories mentioned with the --output option combined with the path possibly set with --output-dir. If the combined output filename uses no directory, or if the directories it mentions already exist, no directories are created.

Created directories are made with mode 0750 on unix style file systems.

To create remote directories when using FTP or SFTP, try --ftp-create-dirs.
