**Add From Server Lite (AFS Lite)**

Stuck on WordPress upload limits? Large videos, RAW photos, PDFs, and bulk product
images often fail in the browser uploader. Add From Server Lite (AFS Lite) lets 
you move those files to the server with FTP or SSH, then import them into the Media
Library from wp-admin. No php.ini edits and no host tickets required.

Works on shared hosting, multisite, WooCommerce stores, and current WordPress releases.

#### How It Works

 1. Upload files to your server with FTP or SSH (no browser size limit).
 2. Open AFS Lite in the WordPress admin and browse to the folder.
 3. Select files or a whole folder and import them into the Media Library.

#### Features

**File import and management**

 * One-click folder import, including subfolders
 * Smart duplicate detection so repeat imports stay clean
 * Real-time file search
 * Filters and pagination for large directories
 * Configurable root directory in Settings
 * Show or hide hidden / non-importable files
 * Last modified column
 * Chunked batch import progress (safer on long imports)
 * Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+A to select all, Esc to clear)
 * Import summary with links to new Media Library items

**User interface**

 * Clear folder vs file layout with checkboxes
 * Clickable breadcrumbs
 * Import actions at the top and bottom of the list
 * Selected file and folder counts

**Security and performance**

 * Directory traversal protection
 * Dangerous file type blocking (PHP, EXE, and similar)
 * CSRF protection with nonces on forms and AJAX
 * Real path validation before browse or import
 * Input sanitization and output escaping
 * Memory-conscious scanning for large trees

**Compatibility**

 * WordPress 6.0 to 7.1.2
 * PHP 7.4 to 8.3
 * WooCommerce compatible
 * Multisite compatible
 * Works on shared hosting

#### Add From Server Pro (AFS Pro)

The free plugin covers browsing and importing from the local server. [AFS Pro](https://elearningevolve.com/products/add-from-server-pro/)
unlocks extras when you need more control at scale:

 * Background imports (leave the page while jobs continue)
 * Scheduled and recurring imports
 * Import history with per-file results
 * Pause, resume, and retry failed items
 * Folder structure preserve options
 * Remote FTP / SFTP and cloud (S3) sources
 * REST API and WP-CLI tools
 * Email alerts for import jobs
 * Role-based access controls
 * Priority email support with your license

## Instalación

Here is a quick overview of the installation.

 1.  Log in to WordPress as an administrator and open **Plugins** in the sidebar.
 2.  Click **Add New**.
 3.  Search for **Add From Server Lite**.
 4.  Find the plugin by eLearning evolve and click **Install Now**.
 5.  Click **Activate**.
 6.  In the admin sidebar, open **AFS Lite** (or **AFS Pro** if the Pro add-on is also
     active).
 7.  Optional: open **Settings** under that menu and set the root directory you want
     to browse.
 8.  Upload your large files to that area of the server with FTP or SSH.
 9.  Use **Import Files** to select files or folders and import them into the Media
     Library.

You can also upload the plugin zip from Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin if you
downloaded it from WordPress.org.

## FAQ

### How do I bypass WordPress upload limits?

Upload the files to your server with FTP or SSH, then import them with this plugin.
The browser upload limit no longer applies.

### Can I upload large videos or RAW photos?

Yes. Any size that fits on your disk works, including large video, PDF, and RAW 
files, as long as WordPress supports the file type.

### Can I bulk import product images for WooCommerce?

Yes. Upload the image folder by FTP, then import the folder into the Media Library
and attach the media to your products as usual.

### Does this require server access?

You need FTP or SSH access to place files on the server. You do not need root access
or php.ini changes.

### Is it safe for shared hosting?

Yes. No server config changes are required. The plugin blocks directory traversal
and dangerous file types by default.

### What is the difference between AFS Lite and AFS Pro?

AFS Lite (this free plugin) imports from folders on the same server. AFS Pro adds
background and scheduled imports, history, remote FTP/S3, REST/CLI, email alerts,
RBAC, and more. Details: [Add From Server Pro](https://elearningevolve.com/products/add-from-server-pro/).

### Do I need Pro for basic imports?

No. Folder browse and import to the Media Library are included in the free plugin.

### Where do I get a Pro license?

Purchase from [eLearning evolve](https://elearningevolve.com/products/add-from-server-pro/).
Your license key is listed under My Account after checkout. Activate it under AFS
Lite / AFS Pro Settings on your site.

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.

Indispensable pour ceux qui comme moi ont installé et désinstallé différents plugins
images sans se rendre compte des dégats causés à trop de manipulations dans la médiathéque.;
JE RECOMMANDE….

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.

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.

   default (filter: afsrreloaded_file_hash_max_bytes) to limit request-time DoS
