Hi Nikhil,

I suggest that you check the return code, either using Rocky's method,
or by using ssh_channel_get_exit_status() (you may have to wait that the
channel is closed for this).
You can check in the stderr stream
(ssh_channel_read(channel,dest,len,1); since the error message of mkdir
will be written to stderr and not stdout.

Another solution, that I really advise you use, is to use the sftp
subsystem which has reliable functions to manipulate remote filesystems.

Kind regards,

Aris
