I am currently trying to use OTA for my ESP8266.
The script is the "BasicOTA" with custom authentication.
The wireless- port is available, but when i am trying to upload a script via the wirelss prot, the following error message pops up:
Authenticating...OK
14:15:36 [ERROR]: No response from device
Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1
Same thing happened to me after I got a new computer. Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly what I did to get it to work. Sorry. Leaky old brain. But I found the solution in some of the first hits from Googling

May have been the same problem that @SteveMann encountered (public vs private network), but I don't recall for certain.
