Hi if you want to create directory from server be sure your asp.net user have a access permissions on this directory you can check it by right click on root directory and check the security tab or you do it with IIS or your target web server facilities and after that you can see follow of links how to create directory at run time with code :

The problem is you are trying to create a directory that contains ':' characters. Here:

C#

string strDate = DateTime.Now.ToString("d-M-yyh:mm:ss.ffftt").ToString();

That is not possible.
You should rethink the naming scheme for one that is compatible with NTFS filesystem.

Please see NTFS Naming Conventions[^]

(Moreover, why do you call ToString() method twice? Don't you trust the first call to return a string value?)
