Upload directly to Server
I use Simplify 3D to slice my STL files. It does not integrate with Repetier Server like Repetier host does. I have to save the gcode, then upload it using the web site. I can map a drive letter on my Windows machine to a folder on my Raspberry PI (Repetier Server). I can directly upload the files to the server.
I would like to have a way for Repetier Server to automatically detect the newly uploaded file, and start printing.
I was able to it with Octoprint, before I switched to Repetier Server. That's one feature I really miss.

It doesn't start automatically. (I wish it did). You will have to either click print on the touch screen, or on your computer via the web browser.
Is there a way to store the gcode into a specified group, not only the standard group?
Add the parameter -F "group=<groupname>" at the end of the line and everything is fine.
Thanks for your help!
So only question is if Simplify 3D supports multiple upload commands, so try or share gcodes if that is also an option.
Apart from the Repetier-Server Monitor now offers also an upload by safe to disk function. It is more flexible as you can decide in which group to store and you can even create new groups by creating a directory.

Alternatively use our Repetier-Server Monitor. There you save the sliced gcode in a special folder and it gets uploaded. If you add a new folder it creates a group with the name and then you can even upload to a new group.
