        !            39: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            40: Pass a long telling libcurl to \fIcreate\fP the dir. If the value is
        !            41: \fICURLFTP_CREATE_DIR\fP (1), libcurl will attempt to create any remote
        !            42: directory that it fails to "move" into.
        !            43: 
        !            44: For FTP requests, that means a CWD command fails. CWD being the command that
        !            45: changes working directory.
        !            46: 
        !            47: For SFTP requests, libcurl will attempt to create the remote directory if it
        !            48: can't obtain a handle to the target-location. The creation will fail if a file
        !            49: of the same name as the directory to create already exists or lack of
        !            50: permissions prevents creation.
        !            51: 
        !            52: Setting \fIcreate\fP to \fICURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY\fP (2), tells libcurl to
        !            53: retry the CWD command again if the subsequent MKD command fails. This is
        !            54: especially useful if you're doing many simultaneous connections against the
        !            55: same server and they all have this option enabled, as then CWD may first fail
        !            56: but then another connection does MKD before this connection and thus MKD fails
        !            57: but trying CWD works!
