One of the things that annoyed me when using #ESP32forth is that with recent versions of the #ArduinoIDE it is no longer possible to use plugins for uploading additional files to the #SPIFFS partition of the ESP32.

There is a workaround solution for ESP32forth that allows a user to copy-paste code into the terminal, which is then stored on the filesystem - but that didn't convince me.

So I spent the last two days tinkering with mkspiffs and esptool.py and finally found a way to not only upload files to the SPIFFS partition but also dumping files *from* that partition back to your computer. All from the command line, no ArduinoIDE and plugins required - see here:

ESP32forth: transfering files to and from the SPIFFS partition

a question to the #arduinio crowd: is there any working way for the current 2.3.6 #arduinoide to upload files to a #spiffs filesystem?

Yes, I know there is arduino-esp32fs-plugin but this *does not* work with the current 2.3.6 IDE. It only worked with 2.0.
