You can create directories using NSFileManager

The method below will return the path to directory userName if it exists and create it if it doesn't.

+ (NSString *)getDocsDirectoryByUserName:(NSString *)userName 
{

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString * documentDir = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString * userDir = [documentDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:userName];

NSError *error;
BOOL success = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:userDir 
                                         withIntermediateDirectories:YES 
                                                          attributes:nil error:&error];   

if (!success) {
    NSLog(@"Error creating data path: %@", [error localizedDescription]);
}

return userDir;
}
