## Aprašymas

Import large files into the Media Library from your server. Skip browser upload 
limits without touching php.ini.

### Stop fighting WordPress upload limits

Hosting caps and PHP upload limits should not decide whether your video, PDF, or
product images make it into WordPress. **Add From Server Lite (AFS Lite)** lets 
you place files on the server with FTP or SSH, then import them into the Media Library
from wp-admin.

No php.ini edits required. Free imports use chunked AJAX in the browser (keep the
Import page open). Compatible with typical shared hosting for that flow, and with
multisite as a normal per-site plugin (settings and Media Library stay on each site).
Imports land in the Media Library, so you can use them on WooCommerce product images
the usual way.

### How it works

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

That is the whole idea: put the files on disk first, then let WordPress register
them properly.

### Built for real media libraries

 * **Folder import**: select a folder and import its files and subfolders (scanned
   in chunks).
 * **Chunked imports**: large jobs run in AJAX chunks while you keep the Import 
   page open; cancel anytime.
 * **Duplicate awareness**: skips files that already look imported (hash/path checks).
   Pro adds skip/replace/rename and cleanup tools.
 * **Search, filters, and pagination**: find what you need in large directories.
 * **Configurable root**: choose which area of the server the plugin may browse (
   limited by PHP open_basedir).
 * **Import summary**: see how many files imported, were skipped as duplicates, 
   or failed.

### A UI that stays out of your way

Browse folders and files with checkboxes, a current-path display, and selection 
counts. Select-all controls sit at the top and bottom of the file list; Continue/
Import stays in the wizard footer. Keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+A (or Cmd+A) selects
all visible files; Esc clears search.

### Security that matches the job

Importing from the server means path safety matters. AFS Lite is built with that
in mind:

 * Files must sit under your configured root (path boundary checks).
 * Dangerous types such as PHP and executables are blocked by default. Types WordPress
   does not allow (including SVG unless you opt in under Settings) stay blocked 
   too.
 * Forms and AJAX use WordPress nonces.
 * Paths are validated before browse or import.
 * Output is escaped; inputs are sanitized.

### Add From Server Pro when you outgrow the basics

Lite covers local browse and import. **[Add From Server Pro (AFS Pro)](https://elearningevolve.com/products/add-from-server-pro/)**
unlocks the heavier workflow tools:

 * Background imports that keep going after you leave the page
 * Scheduled and recurring folder imports
 * Import history with per-file results
 * Pause, resume, and retry failed items
 * Folder structure preserve options
 * Remote FTP / SFTP and S3-compatible sources
 * REST API and WP-CLI
 * Email alerts and role-based access control

## Diegimas

Getting started is straightforward.

 1. In WordPress admin, open **Plugins  Add New**.
 2. Search for **Add From Server Lite**.
 3. Install and activate the plugin by eLearning evolve.
 4. Open **AFS Lite** in the admin menu (or **AFS Pro** if the Pro add-on is also active).
 5. Optional: under **Settings**, set the root directory you want to browse.
 6. Upload large files to that area with FTP or SSH.
 7. Use **Import Files** to select files or folders and send them into the Media Library.

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

## DUK

### How do I bypass WordPress upload limits?

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

### Can I import large videos, PDFs, or RAW photos?

Yes. If the file fits on disk and WordPress supports the type, you can import it,
including large video and PDF files. RAW formats only work if WordPress (or another
plugin) registers that type.

### Can I bulk import WooCommerce product images?

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

### Do I need root access or php.ini changes?

No. You need FTP or SSH access to place files on the server. You do not need root
access or PHP config edits.

### Is it safe on shared hosting?

Yes for the Free local import flow: no php.ini changes and no special PHP extensions.
Imports are chunked over AJAX, so keep the Import page open until the job finishes.
Very large single files or thumbnail generation can still hit host time limits. 
Browsable paths follow PHP open_basedir (often your WordPress or uploads folder 
only). Background imports that continue after you leave the page need Add From Server
Pro.

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

AFS Lite 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. 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 key appears under My Account after checkout. Activate it under AFS Lite / AFS
Pro  Settings.

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.

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.

   responsible disclosure.

   default (filter: afsrreloaded_file_hash_max_bytes) to limit request-time DoS 
   via md5_file.

   handling of files already under uploads.
