How to Create a Folder on the Root Folder of a WordPress Blog
Your WordPress blogging script is installed to a folder on your Web server; typically, it is the root directory for your domain or possibly a separate sub-domain. You can add other files and folders to the WordPress directory, such as media files or a personal folder. You can create a new folder using an FTP program, which allows you to access the contents on your Web server directly. You can also use the FTP program to upload files to the new folder once you have created it.

Connect to the Web server that hosts your WordPress blog using the FTP client. Many different FTP programs exist, so the exact method for connecting to the server will depend on your software. If your FTP program uses a quick connect bar, enter your server name, address, password and port number without setting up a full FTP account for the server. Other FTP programs require you to configure all of the server details before you can connect to the server.
