    Hello,
    Having ordered the new Interface controller, I have a concern about the continued use of a USB Stick to transfer files to the standalone controller. USB connections being prone to damage after repeated inserts and removal of this USB Sticks, will it be possible to download gcode files to the Interface controller using an ftp style file transfer, as like with an external drive?

    Thank you

    That is a feature that is likely to be added to the firmware in the next couple of days indeed.

    I was up to date but missed that you can connect to the interface like that, I was looking for a menu in the interface ui.

    Thanks a lot, I like it even more that way.
