All the information you need is available in the comments or upon hovering over the ? icons.

If you have questions about something specific, ask away.

Is there a tutorial on how to upload via ftp?

I usually use USB, sometimes it hangs.

Where can I find information on how to enable it?

Currently the only information is, as I've said, in the plugin settings comments and question mark tool tips.

I will write some docs once I'm satisfied with how things related to FTP work and won't be changing them much.

It's really just about enabling the option, putting in an SSID and password of the wi-fi your computer is connected to, and then optionally enabling the caching functionality or upload size threshold to optimize how FTP works.

Uploading/starting the FTP server on the board has some overhead of its own, so sometimes it might only be viable after a certain total size of all the files being uploaded. Caching the script works by either saving it on the device so that it doesn't have to be transferred over REPL for every upload or to tell the plugin to use uftpd that might be frozen into your MicroPython port.

You mean you have to write a program to make esp32 work as an ftp server first, then you can upload files to the esp32, right?

If you don't set or write a program to make esp32 an ftp server, it won't work.

In all scenarios the plugin is capable of ensuring that the necessary FTP server code is available on the device, it handles the connection to and start-up of the server as well. All you have to do is configure the wifi credentials and configure the options to your liking.
