Help making ESP-01 (ESP8266) a wireless FTDI Adapter

Projects General Guidance
1

Hi,
I know there have been a few threads... and I've read/tried many of them with no success.

I'm seeking SPECIFIC guidance on how to get the following working:
-ESP-8266 on ESP-01 adapter board.
-ESP-Link successfully loaded with "arduino" as the hostname & mDNS
-UNO with standard bootloader
-pinout
ESP-01 UNO
TX RX
RX TX
RESET RESET
Vcc 5v
Gnd Gnd
-ESP-Link setup with the following (see attachment)

I'm trying to upload a standard blink.ino sketch and am getting the following in the screenshot. (see attachment)

I'm sure it's something simple, just need another set of eyes to help out.
Thanks.

UPDATE:
I adjusted the title of this post for clarity. I have a WORKING project that can be updated using a USB FTDI adapter. I'd like to have a wireless FTDI I adapter that can plug into the current project and work with Arduino IDE in the same manner that the USB provides.

What are you trying to do?

Well, the obvious thing is, use something akin to a WeMOS D1 Mini and ditch the UNO.

If you need more I/O. use some I2C expanders.

I thought the title was enough. Trying to add Wireless method to upload sketches and ability to interact though serial terminal monitor. I wnt to ditch the physical usb ftdi and be able to do the same via wireless.

thank you, but this is not within scope of my question.

For updating the ESP software you can use standard OTA libraries.

Or do you intend to have the ESP01 update the Uno's software?

I'm trying to have the ESP-01 update three UNO... or any mcu via an FTDI connection.
