# CheckDirectoryExistenceBeforeCreating

Specifies whether the connector checks if a directory exists before attempting to create it.

The connector might need to create directories when you use the `insert` fetch action to upload files to the FTP server.

In some cases you can increase performance by setting this parameter to `False`.
