this is sushant,
i have a project need in which i have to download bin file in SPIFFS memory.

Project part has Main project BIN and SPIFFS memory bin for images. i have webserver implemented on ESP8266, and images of webserver part are stored in SPIFFS.

when i download the BIN from ESP flash downloader only PROJECT part is downloaded image section is empty.

i used the following link
upload-image-png-jpeg-to-esp8266-web-page example for image upload in webserver application.

from following code u can see that above link also upload BIN file in memory section 0x300000.
Code: Select all[SPIFFS] upload : C:\Users\sushant\AppData\Local\Temp\buildfabb234f1134a62f969bd7e5c22e1aed.spiffs/project1_180617.spiffs.bin
[SPIFFS] reset  : nodemcu
[SPIFFS] port   : COM3
[SPIFFS] speed  : 115200
[SPIFFS] address: 0x300000

Uploading 1028096 bytes from C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\buildfabb234f1134a62f969bd7e5c22e1aed.spiffs/project1_180617.spiffs.bin to flash at 0x00300000


I dont wanna use arduino IDE everytime to upload BIN file (project1_180617.spiffs.bin ) for images and Code.

i need easy solution like ESP flash downloader.

would like to know any help in this area.

https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree ... /FSBrowser gives the base example.

I normally add on a minimal file uploader into the sketch as well as this makes it easier to get going by uploading the few files that FSBrowser needs.

Code: Select allvoid handleMinimalUpload() {
  char temp[700];

  snprintf ( temp, 700,
    "<!DOCTYPE html>\
    <html>\
      <head>\
        <title>ESP8266 Upload</title>\
        <meta charset=\"utf-8\">\
        <meta http-equiv=\"X-UA-Compatible\" content=\"IE=edge\">\
        <meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1\">\
      </head>\
      <body>\
        <form action=\"/edit\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\">\
          <input type=\"file\" name=\"data\">\
          <input type=\"text\" name=\"path\" value=\"/\">\
          <button>Upload</button>\
         </form>\
      </body>\
    </html>"
  );
  server.send ( 200, "text/html", temp );
}


with a

server.on("/upload", handleMinimalUpload);
in setup
