- Test of the server
- Test of the server:
To feed the Linux server, we're now able to copy new firmware files in the folder `/srv/tasmota/fw_server/fw` with `XYZ` user rights. It can be done using `scp` or `samba` for instance. Upload `firmware.bin` into the folder. The service can be tested from any browser by issuing the address `http://<ip_address>:5000/firmware.bin` were `<ip_address>` is the address of the Linux server.
If you reboot the server, the service should startup again.

If you want PlatformIO to be able to upload your compiled binaries to the local server, you'll still have to setup `ssh` with `ssh-keygen` in order to use the Tasmota script `pio/sftp-uploader.py` without password.
