Create Folder

What does Create Folder do?

The Create Folder directive creates a new folder (otherwise known as a directory) in a location of your choosing.

If you try to create a folder where the parent folder does not exist, Proggy will attempt to create those parent folders as well.

When using this directive, you are also able to set the permission level of the folder.

How do I use the Create Folder directive?

To create a folder, enter the absolute directory path of the folder you want to create in the settings.

After that, enter the permission level for that newly created folder.

Behaviour of the Create Folder directive

• If the folder you are trying to create already exists, this directive will attempt to update the permissions you have set.
• If you do not have permissions to set the permission of the folder, the Prog command will fail.
• If you specified a nested folder path to create, Proggy will create the entire path (eg. /this/whole/path will be created, even if /this and /this/whole did not previously exist)

Example use cases for the Create Folder directive

• Performing routine file and folder manipulation
