Automation Workshop includes the Create Remote Directory Action that can create a directory on a remote server. The new directories can be created using FTP, SFTP, and FTPS protocols, or on cloud storages, such as Amazon S3 storage, DigitalOcean Spaces, Google Cloud Platform Storage.
The Create Remote Directory Action is usually combined with other FTP & Cloud Actions, for instance, the Upload File, Synchronize Directories, and Remote SSH Command Actions. If a multi-level directory name is provided, the missing intermediate directories are automatically created.
Features & highlights
- Create a remote directory with a name as current date.
- Create intermediate directories if they do not exist.
- Automatically create directories with date, time, or other variables in their name.
- Supports FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and DigitalOcean Spaces servers.
