Do you have an iOS device connected to Windows such that you can easily
transfer files over WiFi or USB without adding /anything/ to Windows (like
we do with Android)?

I found another way today, although it's just a more direct use of the
previously defined SMB, FTP, and HTTP servers and clients on iOS.

My task was to copy a few feature-length films from Windows to iOS to play
inside of VLC.

1. I started VLC freeware on iOS & pressed the traffic cone "settings"
2. I tapped the "Local Network" switch and then "Connect to Server"
3. That starts either an SMB, FTP, or something called a "Plex" server
