Make sure that you are importing/using (depending on language) the System.IO namespace for this to work. Then try like the following:

C#

string pathToCreate = "~/UserFolders/" + "NAME HERE";
if(Directory.Exists(Server.MapPath(pathToCreate))
{
   //In here, start looping and modify the path to create to add a number
   //until you get the value needed
}

//Now you know it is ok, create it
Directory.CreateDirectory(Server.MapPath(pathToCreate));

I have Found the Solution for Creating the folder on the Remote Server which has some ShareFolder with Full Access..

I have used

Directory.CreateDirectory(@"\\\\Ur Server IP Address\\Shared Folder on Server\\Name of the Folder );

That's it will create a folder for you in the desired Server.....

as its useful for storing file to the server remotely...hehehehe.....
