Add a HW selection in code so it is HW agnostic

[mats-nk]

I have created a fork where I have introduced a code that detect which hardware (ESP8266 or ESP32) is used and then select the correct coding for that hardware architecture.

This was because I needed a file uploader to my clock/information project and I was so glad when I found this repository as it fitted right in with my project idea.

This is not a replacement of your current code but more a complement if you wish a code that works for both HW platforms as there is small changes between them. And in my case it will fit my idea that my project should be able to build on both ESP8266 and ESP32.

Hi,

I'm glad you like the code and that you can use it.
I developed it back then because uploading via the new IDE was no longer possible.
You've made me curious—what adjustments did you make for ESP8266/ESP32?
I use the code for all my projects without distinction, and now even for ESP32c3, etc.

So with this code you can check what HW you have and use the appropriate code for that HW.

Simple example below. Now I need to check the diff between ESP8266_Web_file_manager.ino and ESP32_Web_file_manager.ino

#if defined(ARDUINO_ARCH_ESP32)        // --- ESP32 ---
#include <WiFi.h>                      // ESP32 WiFi lib
#include <WebServer.h>                 // ESP32 Webserver lib
WebServer server(80);                  // Webserver Initialization
#elif defined(ESP8266)                 // --- ESP8266 ---
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>               // ESP8266 WiFi lib
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>          // ESP8266 Webserver lib
ESP8266WebServer server(80);           // Webserver Initialization
#endif

And from the compare it looks like the difference in the code is the function void handleFileList().

Oh, you're absolutely right.
I completely forgot about the code here in the repo; there are two different versions here.
Since I have my basic code for ESP8266 and ESP32, etc., I didn't have that on my radar anymore.
