Adding media via FTP

Install Add From Server plugin

• Download this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/add-from-server/
• Unzip it using 7-Zip
• Upload the unzipped folder via FTP to your wordpress/wp-content/plugins folder
• Make the folder and all sub-folder writable and executable by all
• Make sure that you only have one sub-folder, so for example the plugin should be stored in wordpress/wp-content/plugins/add-from-server, NOT wordpress/wp-content/plugins/add-from-server/add-from-server

Use Add From Server plugin to add media

• Create a new folder for your media (on the server), for example wordpress/wp-content/media
• Make sure that the folder above had read/write/execute rights for everyone
• Upload your media (for example an image) via FTP to the folder above
• Make sure that the file above has read permissions for everyone
