Selecting File

[atarikcaliskan]

Hi,
I want to select a GCODE file locally but I 'm getting like this.

Terminal

pi@octopi:~/octo-control $ pwd
/home/pi/octo-control
pi@octopi:~/octo-control $ ls 
abs.gcode  octo-control.py  README.md  settings-api-cors.png
pi@octopi:~/octo-control $ python3 octo-control.py --apikey 9DC66D773A15482C8D69A0E0E98DECEA --host 192.168.1.117 --port 80 --select-file abs.gcode
Error: 404 - File not found on 'local': abs.gcode
pi@octopi:~/octo-control $ python3 octo-control.py --apikey 9DC66D773A15482C8D69A0E0E98DECEA --host 192.168.1.117 --port 80 --select-file abs.gcode local

                       [--elapsed-time] [--printing-file]
                       [--send-gcode [GCODE [GCODE ...]]]
                       [--select-file FILE_NAME] [--print]
                       [--set-bed-temp BED_TEMP] [--get-bed-temp] [--ext-temp]
                       [--ext-target] [--pause] [--resume] [--start]
                       [--cancel] [--octo-version] [--version]
octo-control.py: error: unrecognized arguments: local
pi@octopi:~/octo-control $ 

By the way, I can use other functions (getting temps, sending gcodes, etc). Working on Pi 3 B+. What is wrong with my commands?

Thanks.

Hi @tarikcaliskan I don't have an octoprint instance right now to test but if I recall correctly the file has to be in the octoprint uploads folder, that's where the file is searched for.

Hi @dragondgold,
As you said the GCODE file must be uploaded in Octoprint LOCAL. So we can do this via web application with drag and drop the file or we can send the file via the terminal to Octoprint uploads directory.

Octoprint uploads folder: /home/pi/.octoprint/uploads/

pi@octopi:~/octo-control $ mv abs.gcode ../.octoprint/uploads/

So that works for me, thank you so much for answering.

Happy printing.
