Description
Miller Media Server File Import lets WordPress administrators browse files already on the server and import them directly into the Media Library — no need to download and re-upload.
This is useful when:
- You’ve migrated files via FTP/SFTP and need to register them in WordPress
- A developer has placed assets on the server that need to be in the Media Library
- You have files in a non-standard location that should be accessible through WordPress
Features:
- AJAX-powered file browser with breadcrumb navigation
- Select individual files or use « Select All » to import in bulk
- Duplicate detection — files already in the Media Library are flagged
- Copy or move files from outside the uploads directory
- Restrict browsing to a configurable root directory (defaults to wp-content)
- Limit allowed file types via settings
- Full REST API for programmatic access
- Works with any user role that has the
upload_filescapability
Security:
- Path traversal protection via
realpath()boundary checks - MIME type validation using WordPress core functions
- Capability checks on all endpoints (
upload_filesfor browse/import,manage_optionsfor settings) - CSRF protection via WordPress REST API nonces

- Upload the

FAQ
-
What file types can be imported?
-
By default, any file type that WordPress allows for uploads. You can further restrict this with the « Allowed File Types » setting.
-
Where do imported files end up?
-
Files already in the WordPress uploads directory are used in place. Files from outside uploads are copied (or moved, based on your settings) into the standard uploads directory.
-
Will this create duplicate files?
-
The plugin checks for duplicates before importing. Files that have already been imported are shown as « Already imported » in the browser and cannot be re-imported.
-
Can I change the root browsing directory?
-
Yes. Go to Settings > Miller Media Server File Import and set the Root Directory to any path on the server.
-
Who can use this plugin?
-
Any user with the
upload_filescapability can browse and import files. Only administrators (manage_options) can change the plugin settings.
