FTP Client for esp-idf.
This project use ESP32-FTP-Client. It's a great job.
ESP-IDF V4.4/V5.x.
ESP-IDF V5.0 is required when using ESP32-C2.
ESP-IDF V5.1 is required when using ESP32-C6.

ESP32 supports the following file systems.
You can select any one using menuconfig.
- SPIFFS file system on FLASH
- FAT file system on FLASH
- FAT file system on SPI peripheral SDCARD
- FAT file system on SDMMC peripheral SDCARD(Valid only for ESP32/ESP32S3)
- FAT file system on SPI Flash Memory like Winbond W25Q64(Valid only for ESP32)
- FAT file system on USB Memory Stick(Not supported in this project)
Note:
The connection when using SDSPI, SDMMC, and SPI flash Memory will be described later.

You can change it to any pin using menuconfig.
Note:
This project doesn't utilize card detect (CD) and write protect (WP) signals from SD card slot.
On ESP32, SDMMC peripheral is connected to specific GPIO pins using the IO MUX.
GPIO pins cannot be customized.
GPIO2 and GPIO12 cannot be changed.
So using 4-line SD mode with ESP32 is very tricky.
Please see the table below for the pin connections.
| ESP32 pin | SD card pin | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| GPIO14 | CLK | 10k pullup |
| GPIO15 | CMD | 10k pullup |
| GPIO2 | D0 | 10k pullup or connect to GPIO00 |
| GPIO4 | D1 | not used in 1-line SD mode; 10k pullup in 4-line SD mode |
| GPIO12 | D2 | not used in 1-line SD mode; 10k pullup in 4-line SD mode |
| GPIO13 | D3 | not used in 1-line SD mode, but card's D3 pin must have a 10k pullup |
| N/C | CD | not used in this project |
| N/C | WP | not used in this project |
| 3.3V | VCC | Don't use 5V supply |
| GND | GND |
On ESP32-S3, SDMMC peripheral is connected to GPIO pins using GPIO matrix.
This allows arbitrary GPIOs to be used to connect an SD card.

|---|---|---|
| GPIO36 | CLK | 10k pullup |
| GPIO35 | CMD | 10k pullup |
| GPIO37 | D0 | 10k pullup |

| GPIO33 | D2 | not used in 1-line SD mode; 10k pullup in 4-line SD mode |
| GPIO34 | D3 | not used in 1-line SD mode, but card's D3 pin must have a 10k pullup |

GPIO2 pin is used as a bootstrapping pin, and should be low to enter UART download mode. One way to do this is to connect GPIO0 and GPIO2 using a jumper, and then the auto-reset circuit on most development boards will pull GPIO2 low along with GPIO0, when entering download mode.
- Some boards have pulldown and/or LED on GPIO2. LED is usually ok, but pulldown will interfere with D0 signals and must be removed. Check the schematic of your development board for anything connected to GPIO2.
GPIO12 is used as a bootstrapping pin to select output voltage of an internal regulator which powers the flash chip (VDD_SDIO).
This pin has an internal pulldown so if left unconnected it will read low at reset (selecting default 3.3V operation).
When adding a pullup to this pin for SD card operation, consider the following:
- For boards which don't use the internal regulator (VDD_SDIO) to power the flash, GPIO12 can be pulled high.
- For boards which use 1.8V flash chip, GPIO12 needs to be pulled high at reset. This is fully compatible with SD card operation.
- On boards which use the internal regulator and a 3.3V flash chip, GPIO12 must be low at reset. This is incompatible with SD card operation.
- In most cases, external pullup can be omitted and an internal pullup can be enabled using a
gpio_pullup_en(GPIO_NUM_12);call. Most SD cards work fine when an internal pullup on GPIO12 line is enabled. Note that if ESP32 experiences a power-on reset while the SD card is sending data, high level on GPIO12 can be latched into the bootstrapping register, and ESP32 will enter a boot loop until external reset with correct GPIO12 level is applied. - Another option is to burn the flash voltage selection efuses. This will permanently select 3.3V output voltage for the internal regulator, and GPIO12 will not be used as a bootstrapping pin. Then it is safe to connect a pullup resistor to GPIO12. This option is suggested for production use.
- In most cases, external pullup can be omitted and an internal pullup can be enabled using a
I tested these SPI Flash Memory.

The LilyGo ESP32-S2 development board has a micro SD card slot on the board.
It is connected to the ESP32 by SPI, and the peripheral power is supplied from GPIO14.
No equipment other than the development board is required.
It works very stably.

By default, FATFS file names can be up to 8 characters long.
If you use filenames longer than 8 characters, you need to change the values below.
- Get remote file list
- Write local file
- Put file to server
- Remove local file
- Get file from sever
- Read local file
By changing this, you can see the response from the server:
#define FTP_CLIENT_DEBUG 2
