http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:How_to_Add_Items#How_to_Add_Items_from_the_Local_Server_.28or_with_FTP.29
but depending on your host I would do it small chunks.

I have direct access to server.

I can do that but i would have to create by hand at G2 the hundreds of albums and subalbums that are into phpwebgallery now, and then navigate o each of them to upload photos at the right location.

Is not there a way i could tell G2 to import not only photo elements but also diretory (album) structure?

Yes you are right, now is working so... i dont know why it didnt work so before, something i must be done wrong.

I have to restart process each 10000 photos added or so because script hangs, but not a big problem is so much better than doing it by hand,

Thank you so much
