Reproduction steps

After setup MKS plugin and connected to the printer I can see in Monitor tab Heat temperatures and commands "Move to Home" are executed correctly by the printer. I have used the default printer setting shipped with Cura. No changes.

Actual results

When I load this file with Ultimaker Cura directly to the printer it fails immediatly on 0% and on the printer I see "Upload error"

Expected results

I expect the printer start the job

The problem appears to be caused by the absence of the SD card in the printer slot when printing via WiFi. Perhaps unlike normal printers that have a memory buffer of a few MB, the 3D printer uses the SD card as memory to save work sent via WiFi and then print it. Coincidentally the SD card was in the slot when I sent an image and the print started. I then noticed that the SD card contains the file I had sent to the printer.

@Elkin-Vasily I would like to suggest the plugin have a Tips on MKS setup page or when "Upload error" is returned than show a message such as "Make sure the SD card is in the printer and retry"
