How can i do this ...
i performed like this
long status1 =system( ("mkdir -p /var/sftp/bscsftp/BSC").c_str() ) ;

error is :
const char* is not a structure type.

how to do this..can sombody help ???

Well, you have a char const[], which converts implicitly to the
char const* required by system. You could always write
system( std::string( "mkdir -p /var/sftp/bscsftp/BSC").c_str() ) ;
but quite frankly, I don't see any point of it. Use std::string
and its member function c_str() when you have to build up the
command string; just use string literals directly.

Also third command need some special synatax i guess...any
idea..

Why? The system function normally invokes a shell with "-c"
your_string, so all of the usual shell operators are there.
I've executed pipelines in system, and I've used it to start
processes in background, as well as redirecting input and
output.
