Command to create directory?

I just don't get it. Isn't there a straight way to create a directory except "shaman dance" that Google suggests?

RouterOS does not have a proper file manager or directory support.
You can use SMB and then make folders from your Windows Explorer

ftp into the router, then press ? for a list of commands.
mkdir will be most helpful.

Create the folder you want on your desktop and drag it in to 'Files' via winbox.

No idea why the script creates user, group and whatever. Given you have http-ssl service enabled this should suffice:

/tool fetch https://127.0.0.1/ dst-path=path/to/create/xxx

Alternatively use whatever webserver. It creates a file as well, just remove that:

/file remove path/to/create/xxx

No idea why the script creates user, group and whatever. Given you have http-ssl service enabled this should suffice:
Code: Select all
/tool fetch https://127.0.0.1/ dst-path=path/to/create/xxx
Alternatively use whatever webserver. It creates a file as well, just remove that:
Code: Select all
/file remove path/to/create/xxx

How about using 'dot' in place of 'xxx' like below. This way the website won't be saved as 'xxx' file even if is fetched (adding keep-result=no won't create any directories):

{
# ----- Create directory tree with /fetch -----
# Take note of the 'dot' (or 'space') in place of 'file name',
# this will prevent the fetched website from actually being saved as a file
# even if fetch is successful
:local path "disk1/complex/directory/tree/."
:do { /tool fetch dst-path=($path) url="https://127.0.0.1/"; } on-error={ :put "Script will continue dispite an error"; }
:local otherpath "disk1/some/other/dir/."
/tool fetch dst-path=($otherpath) url="https://www.google.com/"
}

A file name containing just a dot represents the current directory. So you create the directory and try to overwrite it with a file... This results in an error:

  status: failed

failure: cannot open file

With your code you have to catch and ignore the error.
I prefer my clean solution. 😜
