As others have said  use System IO Directory CreateDirectory  But  you don t need to check if it exists first  From the documentation   Any and all directories specified in path are created  unless they already exist or unless some part of path is invalid  If the directory already exists  this method does not create a new directory  but it returns a DirectoryInfo object for the existing directory

A fancy way is to extend the FileUpload with the method you want    Add this   public static class FileUploadExtension       public static void SaveAs this FileUpload  string destination  bool autoCreateDirectory              if  autoCreateDirectory                        var destinationDirectory   new DirectoryInfo Path GetDirectoryName destination                 if   destinationDirectory Exists                  destinationDirectory Create                       file SaveAs destination             Then use it   FileUpload file      file SaveAs path true
