old issue

[godmcse]

I have spent the last 2 days working on this. I came across arduino-littlefs-upload and the files seem to upload. however I can not access them from the web page. I uploaded a config file,

I test using this code and the file is found:

File file = LittleFS.open("/config.json", FILE_WRITE);

however, the webpage cannot find the file. I uploaded a favicon.gif file and that too is not found.

I tried ./config.json and ./data/config.json I keep getting errors. what am I doing wrong.

The plugin does show the files are uploaded successfully.

I am using:
ESP32-WROOM
Arduino IDE 2.3.3
Windows 10
using the plugin to upload the files in /data
