Solution 1

Make sure that the ABC,BCD folder is part of(sub folder) the Hosted Site.
if not, then you wont be able to Create folder in it..

Solution:
Create a site and host it in the IIS for c://ABC folder. and give full permission for that folder, then you can access the folder from other site..

Solution 2

Giving permission is not enough. Web applications are executed in the sandboxed environment which does not allow them to access any server-side file objects except those under the root directory configured for your site.

Is there possibility to create directory outside of deployment area?

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 10-Feb-14 12:42pm

Why? I don't know what do you call a deployment area. This is not related to deployment, only to service. No, you cannot access anything beyond the root directory reserved for your site. Why? Perhaps you can map some outside files as hard links or soft links to your site's directory...
