Makes sense. Looks like you'll have to rely on an additional service
to create the folder on Linux from the Windows server. SSH comes to
mind. Google found me this:

http://www.eldos.com/sbb/delphi-ssh.php

Might be a commercial offering, haven't checked.

And you could still install putty/plink (or Cygwin) and shell out to
start an SSH to the Linux server and then create the directory.
