I'm having trouble copying files to ESP32 device running micropython via rshell (remote micropython shell). The problem seems to occur randomly. Sometimes I manage to successfuly send all files (like 20 of them) with rsync and sometimes I cannot even copy one file with cp. There is no error message and script doesn't crash, it just stops working and freezes the console. I've tried with and without -a parameter (I'm sending only .py files). The last thing printed with debug is code to be run on microcontroller below and it just stops there. I didn't find any pattern. I've tried using some other esp32 device and other windows PC. Same results. I even tried lowering default 32 buffer to 16, no improvement. The worst thing is that is sometimes works fine and I cannot get constant results (even bad). It stops on random files, not always the same one.

Rsync command (with --mirror parameter) is very helpful and I could not just copy all files by hand.

EDIT: just tested on mac and it works fine. I guess it's just problem on windows...

I had the same problem , when trying

    C:\> cp src\main.py /pyboard/

the cmd freezes. When I copied using the following

    C:\> cp src/main.py /pyboard/

There where no issues, so maybe rshell has some problems when there are "\" in the path
