A simple tool for uploading files to the filesystem of an ESP8266 running NodeMCU as well as some other useful commands.
It should work on Linux, and OS X; and with any type of file that fits the filesystem, binary or text.

Please note that these tests is not complete and it might be the tests themselves that are having issues.
Should be installable by PyPI (prefered) but there might be packaging issues still.
pip install nodemcu-uploader
nodemcu-uploader
Otherwise clone from github and run directly from there
git clone https://github.com/kmpm/nodemcu-uploader
cd nodemcu-uploader
python ./nodemcu-uploader.py
Note that pip would install pyserial >= 2.7. The terminal command (using miniterm from pyserial) might not work depending on version used. This is a known issue.
There might be some significant issues with Windows.
To solve «ImportError: No module named serial», install the pyserial module:
python easy_install pyserial
Since version v0.4.0 of the tool you will need a recent (june/july 2016) version of the firmware for nodemcu. The default baudrate was changed in firmware from 9600 to 115200 and this tool was changed as well. Download from http://nodemcu-build.com/ .
If you are using an older firmware you MUST use the option --start-baud 9600
to the device to be recognized. Otherwise you will get a
Device not found or wrong port error.
For more usage details see USAGE.md in doc
When reporting issues please provide operating system (windows, mac, linux etc.),
version of this tool nodemcu-uploader --version
and version of the firmware
on you device. If you got the firmware from http://nodemcu-build.com/ please
tell if it was the dev or master branch and at what date it was created.
As for firmware version I would like to have a dump of the details you get when connected using a terminal to the device at boot time. It would look something like this…
NodeMCU custom build by frightanic.com

When you have as much of that as possible, create a issue in github, https://github.com/kmpm/nodemcu-uploader/issues
This almost uses a implementation of xmodem protocol for the up-/download part. The main missing part is checksum and retransmission.
This is made possible by first preparing the device by creating a set of helper functions using the ordinary terminal mode. These function utilize the built in uart module for the actual transfer and cuts up the transfers to a set of manageable blocks that are reassembled in the receiving end.
