#64222 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.

#64302 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.
