Granting full permissions to everyone on newly created folder from within c#

Im saving images from a URL list but trying to duplicate the folder structure locally.

I parse the URL to give me the folder structure I want :

Example: 

URL =  www.site.com/images/folder1/folder2/image

My local base folder is mydocs/site/images I split the url string up and am able to recursively create the proper folder structure using:

 if (!Directory.Exists(finalLocalFolder))
    {
        DirectoryInfo di = Directory.CreateDirectory(finalLocalFolder);
    }

Everything works great UNTIL I try and save the image to the folder using :

    WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
    webClient.DownloadFile(remoteUrl, finalLocalFolder);

In which case, I am told that access to that folder is denied.

"System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'mydocs\images\test\test1\test\2\3m' is denied."

So I am guessing that I need to create a step in the CREATEDIRECTORY area where I immediately grant access to that folder.

Is there an easy way to do this?

I can close this if you would like - but just to put up what my problem was... here it is:

In here: webClient.DownloadFile(remoteUrl, finalLocalFolder);

finalLocalFolder was ending up something like: "C:\mydocs\images\test\test2" when IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN "C:\mydocs\images\test\test2\theimagefilename.jpg"

Stupid moment. Sorry.
