What it does
If you manage several WordPress sites, moving files to each one usually means opening a separate FTP client or hosting control panel for every site. This extension removes that routine. From your MainWP Dashboard you pick the files, choose the Child Sites that should receive them, and send everything in one pass. It works inside the familiar MainWP interface, so there is no separate tool to learn and your file work stays alongside the rest of your site management.
The extension handles a wide range of file types, including PHP, CSS and JavaScript files, ZIP archives, PDF and DOC documents, images, MP3 audio and MP4 video. You can set the exact directory path on each Child Site where uploads should land, which keeps files organized and placed where they belong. That makes it handy for deploying themes, plugins and media assets, and for pushing backup files to several sites during cloning or restoration. It requires the MainWP Dashboard to run.
Best for
- WordPress agencies managing many client sites with MainWP
- Freelancers maintaining multiple WordPress installs
- Site managers deploying themes, plugins or backups in bulk
