Do you have an iOS device? How to get it to xfer screenshots to Windows 10 easily without that iTunes abomination?

Sigh. http://i.cubeupload.com/XLmc84.jpg There are no usable error messages so I don't even know how to troubleshoot. Well, I solved that connectivity problem above simply by rebooting Windows and rebooting the iPad, where I'm pretty sure it was Windows that screwed up. That's one thing about Windows networking that I've learned over the years using FTP servers and FTP URIs in the network neighborhood. Windows is flaky as hell. It works. Then it stops working. You reboot. And it works again. Flaky as hell is Windows networking. Sigh. Anyway, once I rebooted Windows, File Explorer connected without me changing anything on File Explorer and your suggestion of moving over a picture from File Explorer to Windows shared folders worked perfectly. I can't see into any of the "dollar" folders (e.g., C$, D$, etc.) but I can see easily into the "Users" folder, so that's likely because it's the only place anything is shared, by default. So I created this directory on Windows and shared it as "share": C:\data\ipad\share\ http://i.cubeupload.com/d5gzyV.jpg Where the upload from iOS to that share worked fine: http://i.cubeupload.com/3mJnSz.jpg This share location should allow two-way sharing over WiFi, which is perfect - but I still haven't seen the answer whether this is SMB or not (did I miss it?). This is the result on Windows - but I have to test if it works with Linux: http://i.cubeupload.com/gp8laa.jpg Do you know if Linux can handle these types of URIs? \\DESKTOP\share I've got three win 10 desktops here, since the latest update 1709, they see each other fine. Before that, one of them was a pain. If it was not the first to be booted one of the others could never see it. Windows networking and flaky certainly go together, just like gin and tonic :-) I have given up on Linux. I tried many distros, the one I like most was Solydk https://solydxk.com/ I could always get Linux to see the windows network but never get windows to see Linux. Perhaps not a big deal but it would have been nice. Someone with more Linux experience maybe able to help you more with your question. Have you tried Solaris? |
