I then did a standard "Map Network Drive" in Windows 11. I connected to
\ipad1\LANDrive". I entered my name and password (that I setup on the iPad
SMB Server).  All very standard Windows networking stuff. So it clearly IS
using port 445.

 
But it can't be. lol.

 
I'm always logically sensible and reasonable, and if I make a mistake, I
own up to it - but more to the point - I look for proven facts before I
make my assessments of those facts.

Uh huh.  Sure.  I have NEVER seen you admit to being wrong.

Question.  Do you STILL claim that "Even if only 1 line of code is changed,
Apple still rebuilds the entire iOS system and sends that to all users"? Even
though some iOS updates and 50MB and some are 6GB?

All the triumphant insults by the normal Apple users aside, the technical
question to resolve is what port do the iOS/Android SMB servers use?

Why does that even matter? It clearly IS using 445, because the standard
Windows "Map Network Drive" works.  

But even if its using port 40450 or Magic Server Pixie Dust, so what?  IT
WORKS.  I was able connect my iPad as drive X: in Windows. I moved files both
directions, from Windows. 

Free bonus is that DCIM is one of the shares you can map to. It appears to be
Read Only, but it is still there. Interesting folder structure in that. I
copied a random photo to Windows.
