Cura not able to send file over network

Hi All
I have just got an Elegoo Neptune 4 plus printer. I have no problems with the printer, I can see the ip address in a browser and can control the printer from there.
My problem is Cura, I can't sent a file over the network.
I tried with Cura 4.8, that's what came with the machine and Cura 5.10. Both are missing the network settings in the printer manager.
I've uninstalled and re-install them but no luck.
Could anyone help please.
Thank you.

Yes it does what I thought it would, give me the option to send to the printer direct, or save it.
I'm surprised the info I got on the printer didn't mention it, as it came with a version of Cura.

How do you like the Neptune?

I've seen a few float through Facebook Marketplace but the feedback I've heard is that the 3's work better than the 4's

I can't believe they can produce a printer for the price they do.
I've already done a handful of prints, from the small test Buddha to a large enclosure for my small lathe.
I did a quality setting print to see how it compares to the resin printers, the part was almost as good, pretty amazing.
I like everything about it, easy assembly, robust, It has a magnetic bed plate so taking off prints is a breeze. You can control it from a browser while it's printing, although I can't see me changing much during printing. It's quiet, apart from the fans, I think that's the only complaint I can make.
For a 32x32x38 printer at this price it's hard to better.
Paul can you remember what 3D printer used to be like when they first came out, they have come a long way.
Oh yes, I really like the Neptune 4 plus.
