OTA password

[jeffryr]

When trying to upload a sketch via OTA from the IDE, the following dialog box pops up:

Type board password to upload a new sketch

Clicking on Upload without entering a password results in the following error message:

Sketch uses 259,828 bytes (59%) of program storage space. Maximum is 434,160 bytes.
Global variables use 39,458 bytes (48%) of dynamic memory, leaving 42,462 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 81,920 bytes.

Trying to access the monitor via OTA a similar dialog box pops up. This may be related to the REST API used by the Arduino Yun which by default is password protected.

its look like you using the Version 1.6.6 of the Arduino IDE,
in this version they change the OTA handling to SSH which is not possible with the ESP.
try to use version 1.6.5.

[jeffryr]

This was with Version 1.6.5-r5 on linux, I'll try it with 1.6.5 and let you know.

[jeffryr]

Oops, my bad, errant symbolic link was left pointing to some random flavor of 1.6.6.

[jeffryr]

Tried it with 1.6.5 as well:

    Merge pull request #955 from pgollor/master

Still prompts for a password. Clicking on Upload without entering a password results in the following error message:

Unable to connect: wrong password?

1.6.5/Windows10, the password box shows up for me only when i try to use to the serial monitor, clicking 'upload' (on serial monitor password prompt) generates the same error.

Serial Monitor for networked ESPs will not work yet. Arduino uses SSH for that and changes to the IDE are necessary. If the Arduino Team accepts out changes to enable OTA with the Upload button, next we will push one that will enable SerialMonitor over sockets so that we can use it on the ESP. Hopefully soon it will all work a breeze :)

This issue persists, in even the latest Arduino 1.6.7 nightlies / 2.1.x WIP branches. Tested on Mac OS X. It's a deal-breaker, ladies! I don't understand why Arduino is ignoring the upload directives in platform.txt. Also, I am having a hard time reproducing this bug to investigate why.. even though I couldn't avoid it, earlier! Humph.

[igrr]

This issue persists in nightlies because the pull request hasn't been merged by the Arduino team (yet).

[mralexgray]

@igrr I don't see an open request re: issue #959 which number is it? Nevermind, I see it.. Enable OTA Update mechanism for any mDNS enabled platform
 #4107

[danielfabro]

I'm having this same problem. The ultimate, which the solution?

[irwanayeah]

yes I have same problem. any solution?

[me-no-dev]

Update to Arduino IDE 1.6.7
