you should be able to copy and paste the pages recursively, so if you
copy/paste the first page of the subsite, it will keep the entire tree.
If you get an error when you try to copy/paste recursively, go into
"Setup" in the "User" section of the left menu, select your username,
then change the "Recursive Copy" value. Set it higher than the number of
levels of pages in the tree (8 is usually high enough) and save the
settings.
As for the directories in the Filelist, it won't let you copy/paste a
top-level directory into the same place because the directory name it's
trying to paste will be the same as an existing directory. So instead,
if the copy directory is /fileadmin/subsite/, make a new directory
first, named /fileadmin/subsite2/, then copy /fileadmin/subsite/'s
contents into the /fileadmin/subsite2/ directory. It helps if you
structure your directories in /fileadmin/subsite/ so that you only have
one or two subdirectories to copy, such as /fileadmin/subsite/home/ and
/fileadmin/subsite/templates/, with everything under it's respective
subdirectory.
Hope this helps.
