FAQ?

[Plugin] Batch Import
[PLUGIN] Batch Import From ZIP Files

using the "batch import" plug in that V@no mentioned:

make all the directories that you'll want created, in the structure that you want on your local machine.  Then upload those empty directories to the directory on your site that you have selected as the import location for the "batch import" plug-in.  The plug-in will then "import" all of those directories into your database. 

When you are done, make sure to delete the files/directories in the import location folder.
