Unable to upload files to ESP8266 board #947
Description
I'm struggling to upload code to a Feather Huzzah board using the latest 3.0.0 Release Candidate 0. If I rollback to version 2.3.1, everything seems to work as expected.
Based on the recommendation of the CircuitPython for ESP8266 page, I've tried using AMPY in place of using my usual mpfshell utility. Even running the list command ampy --port /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART ls / results in an error. Other commands return the same error.

ampy.pyboard.PyboardError: could not enter raw repl
One issue I've noticed which could be the root problem, is that a file cannot be created within CircuitPython 3 as can be done for version 2. For example:
Adafruit CircuitPython 3.0.0-rc.0 on 2018-06-18; ESP module with ESP8266
>>> f = open('temp.txt', 'wb')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OSError: [Errno 1] Permission denied
I think that the Express boards still need to prevent file system issues with the USB mounted file system and prevent file creation in this way but there is no such issue with the Feather Huzzah boards that I know of.
Also, I tried to upload files using the webrepl but that seems to have a similar issue.
Adafruit CircuitPython 3.0.0-rc.0 on 2018-06-18; ESP module with ESP8266
>>> import webrepl
>>> webrepl.start()
WebREPL is not configured, run 'import webrepl_setup'
