Use rsync to create dummy dirs:

rsync -avPih --include '*/' --exclude '*' videos/ ~/Desktop/videos-dummy/

Here’s a breakdown of the command:

• -avPih: These flags stand for:
  • -a: Archive mode, which preserves permissions, timestamps, symbolic links, etc.
  • -v: Verbose, which provides detailed output.
  • -P: Combines –progress and –partial, showing progress during transfer and allowing for partial transfers to be resumed.
  • -i: Output a change-summary for all updates.
  • -h: Output numbers in a human-readable format.
• --include '*/': Includes all directories (and subdirectories) in the transfer.
• --exclude '*': Excludes all files.
