When an ASP.NET web application is run using an "anonymous account" it runs under the ASPNET user account. This account is granted very limited user rights in order to protect the server from malicious attack.

It is very likely that the web user (the ASPNET user) does not have sufficient permissions to create directories.

You will have to set up your "books folder" so that the internet user is granted permissions to modify this folder.

That means he has to give permission to ASP.NET user.

Yup.

Just be aware that giving anonymous users the ability to create files and folders on the server may leave your system vulnerable to attack.
