Well then, the universal solution we came up with is good news for you!
Our solution works for *every* operating system. Including Linux.

I only tested PC to/from iOS so it'd be great if you test Linux/iOS.
 
Here's the Linux LocalSend installation instructions:
<https://localsend.org/download?os=linux>
 
And here's the LocalSend iOS IPA:
<https://apps.apple.com/us/app/localsend/id1661733229>
 
All you do is run LocalSend on both platforms and you can then send and
receive files and folders bidirectionally between all the platforms.
 
If you do test Linux/iOS file transfer, let us know how well it goes.
As the whole point of Usenet is to learn from each others' efforts.

 
 
Ah, thanks, but I currently can't install new apps.

Then use the far simpler method of connecting to your Windows machine via
the Files app. Make sure you have Sharing enabled in Windows first. Simple
and new apps required.
