Where are the files stored that show up in the web interface?

I’d like to use `rsync`, but right now when I send files from my desktop to `/var/lib/bbctrl/upload` they don’t show up in the web interface, only if I use the upload feature via the web.

Is there some post-upload hook that needs to happen?

I’ve made sure the permissions match ( root:root ).

Thanks in advance!

Hi Josh - welcome to the forums. There was a thread about this a while back, and I thought the issue has been fixed. In short, the controller preprocesses the files and was only checking for new files on boot.

Check out these threads to see if they help:

> Oh, PLEASE do Randy! I just now revisited this on my 3D printer, but with no success. All I would like to do is transfer files to it from my primary laptop without involving Octoprint or other 3rd party apps. Not even sure it’s possible with my hardware. I would also like to be able to transfer files to my off-line controller. I’ve used USB jump drives on this controller for 4 years, but a wifi transfer option would be nice. That’s one thing I left behind when I built my custom controller.
