Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Add From Server Lite

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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