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:
Out of the box network share support for uploading gcode directly from prefered design software.
Temporary solution
note: This generage a share called ‘GCODE’ instead of ‘upload’ in order to not interfere with future 1F implementation.

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.
