ESP8266 Community Forum

Good day. I am using the Arduino IDE 2.0.0 zip version. Now downloaded zip version 2.0.3. I like everything, but I need a plugin to work with the file system. Here is a GitHub link to it - esp8266/arduino-esp8266fs-plugin: Arduino plugin for uploading files to the ESP8266 file system
How can I install it?

That plug in will not work with Arduino 2 yet.
There is a github issue about Arduino 2 support for plugins.

I am using Arduino 2 permanently now for lots of different boards. I do not worry about uploading files from the IDE environment as I always though that a clunky way to do it. Instead for apps that use the filing system I always include support for an inbuilt file browser allowing me to do online maintenance of the files (upload/delete/edit) from a web browser. This support includes a simple file uploader to bootstrap the 2 files needed for the full browser.

I incorporate this in my baseSupport library which includes a lot of common stuff to make it easier.

Hey Robert
That looks useful.

Looks interesting. But why did you put the html data on the sketch page in the example, and did not take it out as a separate file? And I didn't quite understand. Does this library add a field to the web page to download board firmware and add files to the file system?
