Is there a way to configure a watch directory in repetier server? I want to dump folders in this directory and they get auto added to the UI.

    Yes, in the slicer manager you can set up watch directories. Select them as slicer and new files appear at the side to import with a single click.

    Sorry, answer was for host:-(

    In server we have something similar. In global settings->Folders you can add folders for quick import. In Print tab you see them in the upload dropdown (right edge of button). This will open a browser for import directly at that position. Usefull if you use e.g. dropbox/google drive or store them locally on the same folder.

    But how can you automatically import gcode files to a printer in Repetier Server?

     Repetier-Server Monitor has such a function. It will watch a special directory where it shows all groups and copying/storing a file to it will automaticall queue/print/store it depending on folder. The server it self has no automatic import/print/queue folder. In most cases this is on a remote machine where you have no direct access anyway. And if it is on a network drive it is hard to correctly monitor correctly and monitoring gets quite slow.
