Creating a New Directory

To create a new directory on the local system, change the working directory to the directory in which you want to create the new directory. After changing the working directory, do any one of the following:

When you do any of the above actions, a new dialog titled, Create New Local Directory will be displayed.

Directory Name
Specify a name for the directory that you would like to create.

Create
Clicking this button will create (or try to create) the directory that you have specified and closes the dialog.

Cancel
Clicking this button discards your input and closes the Create New Local Directory dialog.

Help
Clicking this button displays this help topic.

Tip In the Directory Name field, you may enter absolute, relative (to the working directory), or UNC path names. Below are a few examples assuming your current working directory is set to C:\wd

Example 1
Entering sampleDir would create a directory named, sampleDir in the current working directory, C:\wd .

Example 2
Entering subdir\sampleDir would create a directory named, sampleDir in the directory C:\wd\subdir . The directory subdir will be created automatically, if it does not exists.

Example 3
Entering C:\temp\sampleDir would create a directory named, sampleDir in the directory, C:\temp . If the directory temp does not exists, it will be created for you automatically.

Example 4
To create a directory in another system on your network, enter \\hostname\sharename\sampleDir , where, hostname is the name of the computer in your network, in which you want to create the new directory, sharename is the shared directory and sampleDir is the name of the directory that you want to create.
