@martinayotte your idea is OK, the problem is how to share the firmware using WebServer. I just found a simple way to share a file, but I do not know where to read the firmware into buffer then share it byte per byte.. I think nobody did this before.

The SDWebServer example simply do that for many kind of files :
https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob ... Server.inoThen, you can use the WebUpdater.ino to get the file by providing the URL pointing to your SDWebServer.

You didn't read my answer, everything is OK except how to read the firmware programatically from ESP itself

Do you mean reading it own firmware and send it to the other ESP ?
Pretty easy : simply use ESP.flashRead() function in a loop until the end of the firmware.
Take a look at ESP.getSketchMD5() function, it is pretty similar to calculate the MD5 by reading firmware byte per byte.
