As you have been told before, use the Files app to connect to the Windows
drive, assuming the drive in question is shared.  Copy and paste whatever you
want. In both directions.  All you need is the IP address of the Windows box.

Don't reply saying its impossible.  I do it all the time. That you claim this
trivial task can't be done is not surprising.

 It's good to see that nospam is back, and since he's no longer in the
employ of Apple, he's not defending everything Apple to the death anymore.
 The problem with the "Files" app is it acts like an SMB client, and that in
and of itself is an atrocious mechanism, especially in light of the fact
we've found on the Windows newsgroups a far better solution with LocalSend.
