    I have Filezilla installed
    I have it open and I have connected to my website.
    I have Add From Server plugin added to my website.
    When I look for the Add From Server file in Filezilla I don’t see it to transfer the file to.
    What file do I drop my files into so I can upload these larger files to WP?
    These are large digital files, I sell, are being loaded to a shopping cart with WP and Woo Commerce plugin. Thank you.

    Please use the WordPress file upload functionality if at all possible.

    You’ll need to upload them to your uploads folder (normally wp-content/uploads), find the files in the Add From Server UI and import them.
    If you need help past that, this probably isn’t the plugin for you

    Thanks Dion,

    I gave up on Filezilla after hours of struggling with it and then tried WinSCP and was able to load up the file without issues. After reading about it more it seems the experts were really frustrated with that program so I didn’t feel so bad. I just put the file into my cpanel root since I had no idea where to put it. Then had to figure out how to get the file into the media so I could select it. I am still not sure your plugin helped me at all since I had tried so many things. But yes I did put the file into the uploads file but figured it out on my own without any help but I wasted a whole day doing so. I assumed this plugin would make this easier. I did not find that the case at all. I am not a beginner but not an expert either. I will be donating to WinSCP for sure since it was their user friendly FTP interface and program that helped with half the battle and they had a useful video and the interface was decent. I need to give this another go in a few days with another file to see if I really do need your plugin or if it just makes things more confusing for me. But you are right it might not be for me.

    I was able to transfer the files without your plugin. Your plugin wouldn’t work. Not sure why but I see that others here have had problems with it too. You almost had me as a customer but there are problems with it when using Win 7 with WP with WinSCP and Woo Commerce in a Genesis Framework Child Theme and Go Daddy. Not sure what part your plugin doesn’t interface well with any of this but I think what I have been using is not all that outside the norm. I can see why no one wants to update their plugins much since I would imagine there is constant updating with WP.

    I’m sorry the plugin doesn’t work with your hosting, that’s not mine or WordPresses fault.
