I am trying to download and install the arduino-esp8266fs-plugin as I am trying to follow the readme in this git project https://github.com/CelliesProjects/aqua ... /README.md

The problem is that no matter where I put the .jar file I dont get the Sketch Data Upload option under tools...

I am using OSX and it should be in the home directory, arduino, tools but that isnt working even after rebooting. Any ideas? Is there a workaround?

Thanks

~/Documents/Arduino/tools/ESP8266FS/tool/esp8266fs.jar (note the spelling of tools/tool )

Under normal circumstances i never let fear and good judgment stand in the way of a hearty laugh. ~AvE

I find it much easier to include the ftplibrary functionality into any sketch using SPIFFS. This makes it easy to transfer files in either direction into the live sketch without having to refresh the sketch.

I had the same prob. Checked restart program, os. Copied the tool into the .app container. Nothing helped.

The solution for me was to download the old 0.2.0 file from github, unzip and copy it into the "tools"-Folder.
Than the upload possibility appeared in the menu and worked without issues for now.
