Well then, the universal solution we came up with is good news for you!
Our solution works for *every* operating system. Including Linux.
 
*Tutorial: How to send files between Windows & iOS over the LAN using
LocalSend*
<https://www.novabbs.com/computers/article-flat.php?id=86116&group=alt.comp.os.windows-10#86116>
 
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.

 
*no* new apps required.

 
You clearly do not understand.   THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE!
 
Why?  Because the one person here who has never even TRIED to do it (Marion
The Apple Troll), says THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE! It is quote "Imaginary
Functionality".
 
Nevermind that several people have explained how to do it. Marion claims that
"Many people say it does not work". Which really means that "Many people are
doing something wrong".  Probably not enabling sharing on Windows first.

I fail to understand why you guys are so against someone using a different
method to transfer files between a PC and iPhone.

LOL.. in steps badgolferman to pretend Arlen's claims that iOS can't do
what the rest of us do with ease, calling it "imaginary technology",
claiming Apple devices are supposedly just "dumb terminals", and calling
those of us who proved him wrong yet again "liars" didn't actually
happen and this is really just someone using a different method... So
fucking predictable. Just admit it: you like the taste of Arlen's ass.

Yes, the iOS native method is good enough for some people

Is it good enough for you and little Arlen, who repeatedly claim iOS is
a dumb terminal for lemmings who can't think for themselves, and this is
"imaginary technology" and definitely not bi-directional? Arlen started
this whole thread as a troll and your cheerleading and pretending that's
not what this is won't change it.

There is no disputing any of this. Why keep fighting about it?

Says Arlen's cheerleader...
