But if you need just serial debugger you can use arduinos serial apadter directly tx and rx pin. But you need 3.3v good power for esp. Arduino nano 3.3v pin not enough.

FTDI has good support. But I know there was problems with some chinese clones being blown by some update... Which OS are you using?
