Overview
Managing many client websites usually means repeating the same file task again and again. Logging into cPanel or FTP for each site takes time, and it is easy to drop a file in the wrong place. This extension moves that job into the MainWP Dashboard you already use, so one upload can reach every connected child site.
You pick the files, choose the child sites and set the directory path where the files should land. It handles WordPress files such as PHP, CSS and JavaScript, along with archives, documents, images, audio and video. That makes it useful for deploying assets, moving backup files for cloning or restoration, and routine maintenance across a client portfolio.
Features
- Bulk uploads to child sites: Upload several files at once to all of your connected child sites from one MainWP Dashboard, without opening each website individually.
- Many file types supported: Send WordPress files like .php, .css and .js, plus archives (.zip), documents (.pdf, .doc), images, audio (.mp3) and video (.mp4) formats.
- Custom directory paths: Enter the exact directory path on each child site where files should be placed, which keeps file organization under your control.
- Help with cloning and restoration: Transfer the backup files needed for site cloning or restoration to multiple child sites in one pass instead of repeating the transfer.
- No limits on file count or size: The extension places no restriction on how many files you upload or how large they are, so you can move whatever a site update requires.
- Fewer repetitive steps: Replacing manual logins and individual uploads with one dashboard action cuts down the repetitive work involved in routine file management.
- Built for the MainWP Dashboard: It works inside the MainWP ecosystem, so you use a familiar interface rather than a separate tool for file handling.
- Simple for non-technical users: The interface is designed so that team members without deep technical skills can manage uploads across several sites without confusion.
Best for
- Agencies managing many client WordPress sites with MainWP
- Freelancers who deploy files to multiple child sites
- Site managers who clone or restore sites often
