Hi all,

I am a newbie at ESP8266 and making some trials on it. I can upload my LUA and HTML files via Esplorer however I have not been able to upload PNG or JPEG files which will be used in HTML file. Any hints will be really appreciated.

The "Upload" button at the bottom of the ESPlorer window will do what you want. A file requester pops up and you can select the file you want to upload. I don't know which version of ESPlorer first included that button, but it's in version
0.2.0-rc2.

The transfer of relatively large files can take a long time at the default 9600 b/s serial data rate, but ESPlorer has a progress bar so you can see what is happening.

I did a test with a JPG file of 86 kB in size. The transfer took about three and a half minutes at 9600 b/s.
