Hi,
you have to provide them with a file manager created by you using ASP. You implement the folder creation and deletion via the FileSystemObject. This is described in detail in most ASP books, epecially the Wrox books.
However, there might be a component that you can buy. Look at

You need to remember to set the users up with change permission on their root directory. These permissions will cascade down onto the directories that they have created.
You might want to only give read and write on their parent directory and create a database directory which has the change permissions on it. This will be more secure.
