- Fri Mar 02, 2018 10:23 pm #74321 I have 5 bmp files on my local computer that I want to download every 15 minutes to the ESP SPIFFS...
I have loaded this http://www.rudiswiki.de/wiki/WiFiFTPServer and simply connect to a FTP drive on my computer to download... called every 15 minutes from the ESP..
How can i do the same with the FSbrowser?

Code: Select all$ curl -X POST -F "data=@foobar3.bmp" http://<IP address of ESP>/edit

- Mon Mar 05, 2018 9:09 am #74372 yes that could work but its driven from the host computer... I want ESP to trigger the request foobar3.bmp from the host computer... Its basically a weather radar bmp image that changes every 15 minutes...

I agree the curl would work to send foobar3.bmp but I want the ESP to trigger the request... ie... I can start this loop but what do I set here so it grabs the foobar3.bmp... And how would it know what location to tell it so it can find it on my local PC...
