# Make directory (xbmkdir.exe)

> Make directory (xbmkdir.exe)

Use this tool to create a directory and any necessary parent directories on a remote console.

| Column 1 |
| - |
| \*\*xbmkdir \*\**directory* \[/X\[:]*address\[+\<accesskey>]\[/title]*] |

| Option | Description |
| - | - |
| *directory* | The directory to be created. A fully qualified path that has the drive letter must be supplied. For details, see the [Remarks](#remarks) section later in this topic. |
| /X\[:]*address\[+\<accesskey>]\[/title]* | - Use this option to specify the host name or address (shown as **Tools IP** on the console) of a targeted console without changing the default console. For details about setting a host name for a console, see [Setting a host name for the console IP address](/home/setup-install/dev-kit-settings/setting-a-hostname). - If you don't use this option, the default console (previously set by [Connect (xbconnect.exe)](/tools/tools-console/commandlinetools/xbconnect)) is used. - Use the *accesskey* string to give console access only to those people who have the access key. - Set the access key by using the command **xbconfig** **accesskey=your-key**, and then restart your console to make the access key effective. - To access a console that's configured with an access key, include a plus sign (+) and the access key after the IP address or host name of the console. - If an access key is provided when the default console is set by [xbconnect](/tools/tools-console/commandlinetools/xbconnect), the access key is stored as part of the default console's address. - For more information about access keys, see [xbconfig accesskey](/tools/tools-console/commandlinetools/xbconfig). |
| /LC | Specify the locale code. Used to override the default locale code |

## Remarks

### Destination files and directories in the shared scratch-drive partition

The `drive-D` partition is now accessible as a shared scratch space in the system and from within the Game OS. To create a directory in this shared drive, use **xbmkdir** (with or without **/x/title** *address*) to access drive partitions and files that are being used by the exclusive resource app. For example, to create the foo directory in the game-data subdirectory of a game on the console, use the following:

```
xbmkdir /X:/title XD:\foo  
```

or

```
xbmkdir XD:\foo  
```

If a legacy XBOX One Software Development Kit title is running, drive D is the legacy TitleScratch drive, which isn't the same as drive D in the system. However, drive D is accessible in the system via the TitleScratch network share when the title isn't running.

### Destination files and directories in an app container

While an exclusive app is running, the app container is read-only and mapped to drive G in the `exclusive` partition.

Apps packaged at build time are read-only. Files and directories can be copied for these apps but can't be added, deleted, or modified.
