A simple FTP server for Arduino, ArduinoSAMD WiFiNINA, esp8266, esp32, stm32 and Raspberry Pi Pico W

SimpleFTPServer

Instruction on FTP server on esp8266 and esp32 Simple FTP Server library now with support for Wio Terminal and SD

Simple FTP Server for

• Raspberry Pi Pico W (Flash: LittleFS) (To test SD and SdFat)
• esp8266 (Flash: SPIFFs, LittleFS. SD: SD, SdFat 2)
• esp32 (SPIFFS, LITTLEFS, FFAT, SD: SD, SdFat)
• stm32 (SdFat, SPI flash)
• Arduino (SD with 8.3 file format, SD: SD, SdFat 2)
• Wio Terminal (SdFat 2, Seed SD, and native FAT)

Changelog

• 2022-09-21 2.1.4 Add support for Raspberry Pi Pico W and rp2040 boards, Fix SD card config
• 2022-09-20 2.1.3 Soft AP IP management, more disconnect event and SD_MCC
• 2022-05-21 2.1.2 Fix SD path (#19)
• 2022-05-21 2.1.1 Minor fix
• 2022-03-30 2.1.0 Add UTF8 support and enabled It by default (Thanks to @plaber)
• 2022-03-30 2.0.0 Complete support for STM32 with SD and SPI Flash minor bux fix and HELP command support
• 2022-03-17 1.3.0 Fix enc28j60 and w5500 support and restructuring for local settings
• 2022-02-25 1.2.1 Fix anonymous user begin and fix SPIFFS wrong display
• 2022-02-22 1.2.0 Add anonymous user and implement correct RFC (#9 now work correctly with File Explorer)
• 2022-02-01 1.1.1 Add workaround to start FTP server before connection, add end and setLocalIP method.

When I develop a new solution I'd like to divide the application in layer, and so I'd like focus my attention in only one aspect at time.

In detail I separate the REST layer (written inside the microcontroller) and the Front-End (written in Angular, React/Redux or vanilla JS), so I'd like to upload new web interface directly to the microcontroller via FTP.

For static information (Web pages for examples), that not change frequently, esp8266 or esp32 have internal SPIFFS (SPI Flash File System) and you can upload data via Arduino IDE as explained in the article "WeMos D1 mini (esp8266), integrated SPIFFS Filesystem" for esp8266 or "ESP32: integrated SPIFFS FileSystem" for esp32 or with LittleFS "WeMos D1 mini (esp8266), integrated LittleFS Filesystem" but for fast operation and future support It's usefully use FTP.
