Hi,

for uploading a filesystem to 8266 upload tools exist. But how to download files/the filessystem from 8266 without using a web server on 8266?

To download files or the filesystem from an ESP8266 without using a web server on the ESP8266 itself, you can use an FTP server running on the ESP8266. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a protocol used to transfer files over the internet and local networks.

Here is how you can implement an FTP server on an ESP8266:
