just drag and drop the main folder where all the other folders and filess are and it will look like this: subdomain.domain.com/folderyouchose/someotherfolder/file.htm. or if you want it to look like subdomain.domain.com/file.htm just upload the contents of the main folder into the public_html/www directory.

Here is a link to a tutorial which explains using zip files how to upload a bunch of files and folders.

Actually, if you're using a domain of your own and you've created a subdomain (hence subdomain.domain.com or subdomain.example.com), then the files associated with that subdomain are in a folder of the same name, located in "public_html". Of course, if you're referring to subdomain.domain.com simply as username.trap17.com, then what I just said doesn't apply.

Well, yes, actually, what you just said does apply.
When you create a sub-domain on the cpanel, it creates a seperate folder for the sub-domain and the files for that sub-domain should go in to that folder.
BUT simply making a folder does not create a sub-domain.
You must access the cpanel and specificy that you wish to create a sub-domain for the sub-domain features to apply for a folder.

Example :
my_sub.username.trap17.com --> using cpanel you create a sub-domain, then store the files in public_html/my_sub folder and allow access to the sub-domain.

 

On the other hand, if you simply create a folder named "public_html/folder" and place files into it, then attempting to access

folder.username.trap17.com

will result in an error "server not found". The correct way to access those files would be:

username.trap17.com/folder

Gets confusing sometimes.
