mkdir: cannot create directory `../abc/2011-11-23: No such file or directory

I have got a sftp script that downloads the archives , unzip it and then rename the files according to date and moves it to respective folder.

I had to move the script from USB drive onto a separate server . After i moved whenever the script runs it extracts the files but while moving files it gives following error :

mkdir: cannot create directory `../abc/2011-11-23': No such file or directory

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Solution 1:

It looks like the abc folder doesn't exist. You probably want to use -p option to make parent directories as needed:

$ mkdir -p ../abc/2011-11-23

Solution 2:

Either there is no '../' or there is no '../abc/'
