Transfer file from ESP8266 to computer
Posted: Wed Jun 28, 2017 3:52 pmHi!
This is my first time working on a project using the ESP8266 with Arduino IDE. In fact, I would call myself a "newb" for Arduino programming in general. I have general programming knowledge, though.
For my project, I have a text file with sensor data stored in ESP8266 flash memory. I would like to transfer this information to my computer wirelessly, in the most simple way possible. I would like to use the ESP8266 as a "Soft-AP", instead of connecting it to my network. I have some basic code that creates an AP network, but I'm not sure what the easiest process would be to wirelessly transfer files to my computer.
I have tried using an ESP8266 FTP library, and while this works when connected to a different network, the library doesn't work when the chip is in Soft-AP mode.
What are your recommendations to go about doing this? Should I attempt to transfer the file via UDP?
