Frank,

You may be able to use the FileSystemObject.  It's built into ASP out of the
box and is fairly simple to use.  You do need to make sure that the account
logged into IIS has writes to create folders and copy the files into the
folder since the FSO works under the security context of the person logged
in.

Here's more information on FSO:
