One question I'd like you to clarify is whether you can do what people want
to do, which Frank Slootweg also asked - and I concur it's very important.

1. From the PC... (Windows or Linux but I think you're on Windows)
2. Can you *initiate* that file/folder transfer from the PC over to iOS?

No, I cannot. Only from the iPhone to the PC.

Hmm... thanks for the reply but that's not what I asked but I do appreciate
your response. May I clarify the question, since you tried it & I can't?

The first question is whether you can sit at the PC (with the iOS device
nowhere near you) and transfer the files while sitting at that PC.

The reason I ask is that's what everyone wants to do and that's what works
just fine for all the normal people (who are not Apple trolls, of course).

The second question, no matter where you sit (so for this second question,
it's OK to have the iOS device near you) is which direction did not work?

Can a file from the PC be copied to the iOS device in your tests?

 No, I cannot push or pull files from the PC to phone. I can only push or
pull files from the phone to the PC.
 

Or in other words, you can both move files to the PC and get files from the PC...
...in the exact manner the server/client connections have always worked.
