Know that the plugin will not create new media on your installation database, it’ll just use the existings entries of medias in your database to retrieve the physical files on another WordPress installation. **E.g.**: _http://serverA.com_ have an entry for the _mediaX_ in his database. The path for the physical file is supposed to be _http://serverA.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2013/06/mediaX.jpg_ but it’s not here. If you know that this same media exists on _http://serverB.com_ + the physical file, you can use this plugin on _http://serverA. com_, specifying _http://serverB.com_ in the _Server URL_ field and the plugin will search the file here: _http://serverB.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/mediaX.jpg_. If it find it, it will be downloaded here: _http://serverA.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2013/06/mediaX.jpg_. #### Do you need this? This plugin is useful if you have multiple instances of a same project installed on multiple servers. For example, a team of developers, each of them having a copy of the “master” installation located at the production server. Periodically, the database of the “master” installation is given to the developers who update their code through a [VCS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control)( like SVN, GIT, Mercurial). There is chance that the _uploads_ folder is not versionned, which is good, so the plugin is useful here to download the medias from the “master” installation. #### How tu use it? In the admin, go to _Tools/Import_ and choose the _Attachment files_ importer. From here, enter the URL of the WordPress installation that contain the physical files of medias and click _Import_. Existing files will not be overriden. #### Debug The plugin is in an early stage and bugs may occurs. If you want to show a detailled report of the importation process, add this line to your **wp-config.php** file: ``` define('ATTACHMENT_FILES_IMPORT_DEBUG', true); ``` ## Installation 1.
