Sorry I didn't mean to offend or to look confused.

Say I have a directory to upload using libcurl, say I'm uploading all the
files and all works fine etc. I said to libcurl to create the missing dirs
so I just have to loop on my files and it creates the directory tree
accuratly on the other side except.... when one directory inside my tree is
empty.

So, I thought I'd just loop on files and directories and go on, but then it
created an a file instead of a folder, so I added a / at the end of the url
and then it created a (nil) file inside the folder, then I added NOBODY and
it worked.

If I understand right, you say I'd create remote directories by setting
CREATE_MISSING_DIRS but NOT setting the UPLOAD option ? (like a FTP LIST ?)

Thank you
