In my project I put into the init.lua a small TCP server that listens on port 2323 and posts to the terminal (taken from the nodemcu website example). How can I use this to upload files to the module? Since I have access to the terminal just like a serial monitor, I think this should be possible.

Code: Select all s=net.createServer(net.TCP,180)
s:listen(2323,function(c)
    function s_output(str)
      if(c~=nil)
        then c:send(str)
      end
    end
    node.output(s_output, 0)   
    -- re-direct output to function s_ouput.
    c:on("receive",function(c,l)
      node.input(l)           
      --like pcall(loadstring(l)), support multiple separate lines
    end)
    c:on("disconnection",function(c)
      node.output(nil)       
      --unregist redirect output function, output goes to serial
    end)
    print("Welcome to NodeMCU world.")
end)

thanks

Sorry for misleading.

thanks

Please note that the old telnet server example suffers from buffering issues with newer SDK versions. Consider to upgrade to the latest example: telnet.lua.
