#8875 Maybe I got it wrong, and I'm just pointing out an obvious thing, but keep in mind that in every case you should have only a single GND connection.
What I mean is that if I got it right, you should have connected the VCC from FTDI to the VCC of the ESP.
The GND form the FTDI to the GND of ESP.
TX and RX from ESP to RX and TX on arduino.
Now you are missing the common GND from Arduino to whatever you rpefer (FTDI or ESP, the GNDs should already been connected between the two)
