A single header field makes someone a troll. How interesting. I guess
you do get your rocks off making assinine accusations.

This incessant behavior makes you a troll calling troll.

Just as there are small-minded people who think that all Black people are
hoodlums, all Jews are greedy, all Germans are racist, and all Native
Americans drunkards, there are plenty here with small minds who feel that
anyone who employs privacy headers are trolls - even if they never troll.

Nonetheless, the topic in this thread is how to enable anyone with an iOS
device to easily slide files back and forth between iOS and Windows without
installing anything on Windows.

This is the current summary of tests of the helpful suggestions to date.

NO ADDITIONAL (NON-NATIVE) SOFTWARE REQUIRED ON THE DESKTOP:
1. USB (seamless both ways on Windows, seamless one way on Linux)
2. FTP server (seamless both ways on Windows & Linux)
3. HTTP server (seamless both ways on Windows & Linux)
4. Bluetooth (this would work but I don't have BT or WiFi on my desktop)
5. SMB server (probably works - need to explore smb:// URIs on Win/Linux)
6. SMB client (works both ways on Windows - but it requires Samba on Linux)
7. App server (works both ways, e.g., VLC, perhaps it's just using http)

REQUIRES additional (non-native) software on the desktop:
8. Apple-services (e.g., iMazing, can't possibly work in the real world)

The stumbling block at the moment is SMB syntax, so if anyone here has a
good way to test SMB on a single Windows desktop, that would be useful for
all to try.
