- Fri Apr 06, 2018 6:14 am #75182 Hello!

I've managed to successfully implement a SPIFFS file system on the ESP8266-01, which will be used to log data. I'd like to make that file available for download by the user through a simple button in the website. Any advice on how to set up this web server?

PS.: I'm aware of the "SDWebServer" example, but I don't have enough pins available to connect an SD card.

All the best,

Hello McChubby007. Thanks for the reply, but I haven't found the built-in example quite easy to understand. Instead, I've found an excellent reference in GitHub: https://github.com/G6EJD/ESP32-8266-File-Download. It was only necessary to change the file source: from SD Card to the internal file system.
