infuriating behaviour of recursive put

[GregWoods]

Using VS Code, my files are in a src folder My ESP32 board wants these files in the root folder. I cannot figure out how to do it without writing a loop. The recursive put is supposed to help but it doesn't.

What I've tried

cd [parent folder of 'src']
ampy put src /

Result: copies src folder to root. As expected, but not what I need.

so it would seem I need to be inside the src folder to avoid creating the src folder on the device

cd src
ampy put 

Result: Syntax error. Ok fair enough, let's be more specific...

ampy put *.* /

Result: sytax error. Ok, so it doesn't know about wildcards

ampy put . /

Result: Does nothing. This is puzzling

ampy put .

Result: It creates the src folder on the device! WHAT?! I'm inside the src folder, it shouldn't even know or care about the containing folder. What if my files were in the root of my local filesystem? Would it try to create a folder called C: or mnt/c? No, of course not.

So... how can I put the contents of a folder in the root folder of my device? Any help appreciated.

@GregWoods you probably figured this out yourself or gave up quite a while ago but I just had this problem myself and came across your issue. I found the solution - ampy put . / which will write the contents of the present working directory to the root of the device like you wanted.
