Issue Description

nodemcu-httpserver relies on nodemcu-uploader file renaming feature in order to simulate http folder in SPIFFS. nodemcu-tool does not have this feature.

Expected Behavior

It would be great to move nodemcu-httpserver to use this tool instead of the dead nodemcu-uploader. This feature is missing for a clean replacement.

See https://github.com/marcoskirsch/nodemcu-httpserver/issues/127

Uploading files has an option --keeppath which should do the trick.

i've posted an example into the nodemcu-httpserver issue

see https://github.com/marcoskirsch/nodemcu-httpserver/issues/127#issuecomment-568429706

btw. by using the --compile option you can simplify your deployment
