ESP8266 Community Forum

Hi,

I'm new to the ESP8266. Have been able to connect the ESP8266 to our router and display text message on PC display but don't have a clue how to send binary data from datalogger to a file on the PC via WiFi.

Any suggestions or directions as to where to find out would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance.

Your request is so vague it is hard to make any suggestions. There are many ways to transfer binary data. A lot depends on what software is available on the PC such as FTP server, HTTP server, web browser, or something else.

I suggest trying the following example to start learning about the ESP. This runs a web server on the ESP which allows binary file upload and download to/from Flash. The only software required on the PC is a web browser. I have no idea if this is what you need but you have to start somewhere.
