The logs directory contains log files from various dates. The log file name represents the date and time when the file was created. The maximum size of each log file is just slightly more than 4MB. The content of the log file is controlled by the various macros defined in the common.h header file. The content of the log files may help in finding problems in the code.
For example, in order to edit the config.txt file, it is possible to download it from the root directory, edit it and save it. Then upload it to the root directory.
When uploading and downloading files, the file names are preserved. However, if you download a file and there is already a file with the same name in the download directory, the downloaded file will be renamed. This is done by the browser.
The wwwroot directory contains all the files required to render the web pages supported by the device.
