look at the man page

 --ftp-create-dirs
          (FTP) When an FTP URL/operation uses a path that
          doesn't currently exist on the server, the standard
          behaviour of curl is to fail. Using this option, curl
          will instead attempt to create missing directories.
 
          If this option is used twice, the second will again
          disable silent failure.
