    With Marlin and Repetier Host you can only copy files to the SD Card from the PC, read the directory, create folders and delete files via the USB. The copy really isn't a true file copy either as Repetier Host strips out comments and anything other than the gcode commands before sending to the SD Card.

    Marlin does not provide a way to upload files from the SD Card to the PC via USB.

    Of course you can always move the SD Card into another card reader on a PC and read/write files directly.
