WP Easy Uploader was created to make the life of WordPress bloggers easier by allowing an Administrator to add plugins, themes, and any type of file to WordPress directly from inside WordPress. You no longer have to load up an FTP client just to try out that latest plugin, load a new theme, or to upload a text document into a specific folder for people to download.
Current Features
- Upload any type of file to either the standard Uploads directory (just as images do when you are creating posts and pages) or to a path of your choosing.
- Manual paths are automatically created if they don’t exist.
- Easily upload plugins directly to the plugins directory and theme files directly to the themes directory.
- You can select to have archives automatically extracted to their destination. This means that plugins and themes will be taken care of for you, but it also means that you can zip up a large set of files and upload them quickly into a folder on your site. Currently zip, tar, gz, tar.gz, tgz, and tar.bz2 archives are supported.
- Options for overwriting existing files, renaming the fle if a file with that name already exists (or if overwriting fails), removal of the archive after file extraction, and forcing extracted files to be contained in a folder.
- Now supports WordPress Mu.
- Support for upcoming WordPress 2.6.
- Offers translations in German, Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish.

My only complaint is that files that have been uploaded have file permissions which do not permit me to modify them. This problem really only affects blogs where PHP is configured as an Apache module and when it runs as nobody:nobody.
it’s a problem that I had too…
[...] WP Easy Uploader [...]
love the idea of this.
I’ve not had chance to try it yet but is it possible to only allow the user to upload to the upload directory only?
Or is this only for admins? i would quite like this to allow the user to easily upload a pdf for example to the upload directory as i really don’t like how wp 2.6 works with the user having to upload via a page.
