An utility method like the following can be used to solve this.

import (
  "os"
  "path/filepath"
  "log"
)

func ensureDir(fileName string) {
  dirName := filepath.Dir(fileName)
  if _, serr := os.Stat(dirName); serr != nil {
    merr := os.MkdirAll(dirName, os.ModePerm)
    if merr != nil {
        panic(merr)
    }
  }
}



func main() {
  _, cerr := os.Create("a/b/c/d.txt")
  if cerr != nil {
    log.Fatal("error creating a/b/c", cerr)
  }
  log.Println("created file in a sub-directory.")
}
