I am in the very early stage of getting my head around about how to access a FatFS filesystem.
Setup:
- STM with SD card slot and FatFS installed.
- ESP8266 with AT firmware connected to serial port of STM
- ESP8266 prepared to connect to a WiFi router (or provides AP) and to open a TCP connection to a remote TCP Server
Use case:
- User at PC connected to the same WiFi network or to the ESP as AP
- User accesses SD card on STM to list directories, read/write/copy/delete files
My ideas so far:
- implement FTP Server (that can access the SD card) on STM. User on PC connects with FTP client
- implement WebDAV Server (that can access the SD card) on STM. User on PC connects with (builtin) WebDAV client
- implement some sort of HTTP Server that accesses the SD Card on STM. No idea about a nice and user friendly client
Most likely not the best ideas. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Basically are there any off-the-shelf solutions to the idea of having a file server on an embedded system and accessing the file server over a ESP8266 provided TCP connection?
Your assistance is very much appreciated
Thanks, Michael
