Pretty new to Arduino here.. I have a Mega256 with a W5100 shield. I have a sketch working on it and I am tweeking it every so often. Rather than go into the basement and hook up a USB cable to upload a ew sketch, is there a way I can do it using the network and the Arduino IDE that I use to upload over USB?
TIA
you could envision (if the signal goes all the way to the basement) to explore leveraging bluetooth
there are many hacks available for this, here is one
Thanks I will check it out. Is there any way to use the Arduino IDE to do this remotely? It seems like it would be a much easier way. Just a noob opinion.

I don't understand your question... are you asking the same one again?
the board is programmed through USB (or ISP). basic Arduinos don't have any wireless capabilities - so if you don't want a long cable to go to your board, you need to add something doing the wireless stuff for you.
other types of "arduinos" based on ESP for example have wifi built-in and once programmed you can have some code in your solution to handle OTA updates
