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:
<ul>
<li>You’ve migrated files via FTP/SFTP and need to register them in WordPress</li>
<li>A developer has placed assets on the server that need to be in the Media Library</li>
<li>You have files in a non-standard location that should be accessible through WordPress</li>
</ul>
Features:
<ul>
<li>AJAX-powered file browser with breadcrumb navigation</li>
<li>Select individual files or use “Select All” to import in bulk</li>
<li>Duplicate detection — files already in the Media Library are flagged</li>
<li>Copy or move files from outside the uploads directory</li>
<li>Restrict browsing to a configurable root directory (defaults to wp-content)</li>
<li>Limit allowed file types via settings</li>
<li>Full REST API for programmatic access</li>
<li>Works with any user role that has the <code>upload_files</code> capability</li>
</ul>
Security:
<ul>
<li>Path traversal protection via <code>realpath()</code> boundary checks</li>
<li>MIME type validation using WordPress core functions</li>
<li>Capability checks on all endpoints (<code>upload_files</code> for browse/import, <code>manage_options</code> for settings)</li>
<li>CSRF protection via WordPress REST API nonces</li>
</ul>

This plugin implements gzip output compression to speed up load times.
The plugin also does a check to see if browsers are incorrectly saying that they do not support GZIP when they actually do. This can speed up load times for a significant portion of users.
<pre><code>For requests with missing or mangled Accept-Encoding headers, inspect the User-Agent to identify browsers that should understand gzip.
* Test their ability to decompress gzip.
* If successful, send them gzipped content!
</code></pre>
