Bulk Upload Large Server Files
Directly To WordPress

Large files are often restricted by hosting server’s upload limits. This plugin makes it easy to import them directly into your Media Library in just a few clicks.

  • CORE FEATURES

Built for Large Scale Imports

  • Remote sources

Pull Media Straight From FTP,
SFTP, or S3-Compatible Storage

Connect a remote server or S3-compatible bucket and browse its folders directly inside WordPress. Stage the files locally and import them seamlessly into your Media Library without any manual downloads, supporting full FTP, SFTP (requires PHP ssh2 extension), and S3 endpoints.

  • IMPORT CONTROL

Complete Import History With
Pause, Resume, and Retry Options

Track every import job and individual file result with total clarity through detailed logs and status tracking. Pause long-running tasks and resume them whenever you're ready with a single click, or use the smart retry system to re-import only the specific files that failed without restarting the whole process.

  •  AUTOMATION

Automatically Sync and
Import Files on Your Schedule

Set up automated import schedules to monitor targeted server folders and continuously pull new media into your WordPress Media Library every 5 minutes, hourly, or daily with zero manual effort.

  • ADDITIONAL KEY FEATURES

Keep Importing After You Leave

Start a job, close the tab. Pro continues processing via WP-Cron in the background until finished.

Email Alerts + Access Control

Get notified when a job completes or fails. Choose which roles can browse, import, or manage settings.

Keep Folder Layout + Smarter Duplicates

Preserve server folder structure. Skip, replace, or rename when a file already exists.

My webserver limited uploads to 128MB. FTP didn't link the large video files properly. Thanks a lot, this plugin solved my problem completely.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Upload your files to a folder that WordPress can access, then open Add From Server  to browse and select them. Choose the files or folders you want and import them directly into your Media Library.

    No. The plugin imports files that are already available on your server instead of using the normal browser upload process. This means you do not need to change your WordPress upload settings just to import those files.

    Yes. You can import WordPress supported media files that are already available on your server, including large videos, images, PDFs, audio files, and documents. Unsafe file types such as PHP and executable files are blocked by default but can be enabled by settings.

    Yes. You can select a folder and import the files inside it, including files in its subfolders. This is useful when you have a large collection of files to add at once.

    The plugin checks for existing files during import. Pro gives you more control, allowing you to skip existing files, replace them, or keep both copies.

    Yes. Pro supports FTP, SFTP, and S3 compatible storage, allowing you to browse remote files and import them directly into your WordPress Media Library.

    Yes. Pro lets you schedule recurring imports so files can be added to your Media Library automatically without starting each import manually.

    A hard upload limit per file is set by the hosting provider on the webserver. I needed to upload some video files bigger than 128MB. Uploading through FTP was possible but then there is no pointer to the uploaded file. Thank you, this has been a great help to me.

    Really good

    This extension saved me hours of work and headaches. It allowed me to upload media via FTP to a folder from an earlier date, and all the links were updated with the new media. This kind of task is difficult to do, and plugins that claim to be able to do it don't work; the URLs are only modified virtually.

    Very Helpful

    Hey Thanks a lot, although I had some issues with some minor things, I managed to change the code a bit. I had the issue, that the import method created false folders because the parameter was not correct, and I had some path issues in the navigator section, because I used your plugin on a windows based OS with Laragon as the env. But I found some quick hacks 🙂 Really needed your solution! Thank you so much! Before that, I tried a different plugin and it didn't work well.
