Unfortunately, fsquirt won't work as Apple has purposefully disabled
bluetooth file transfers, apparently, in an attempt to limit user choices.

One option, of course, is to use Apple's trojan bloatware replacement for
the deprecated and insecurely defunct iTunes abomination, which is here:
 *Install the Apple Devices app on Windows*
 <https://support.apple.com/guide/devices-windows/install-the-apple-devices-app-mchl5ded2763/windows>

Since every thread should add value, here's more information about the
Apple Devices for Windows" program, which maybe replaces iTunes.
 <https://apple-devices.en.uptodown.com/windows>
 "This program is designed to allow you to use Apple devices 
  on Windows without having to rely on iTunes as before.
  Apple Devices's interface is very simple and minimalistic;
  all you have to do is connect your Apple device to your PC
  with a USB cable. Once connected, Apple Devices will recognize
  the Apple device, and you'll be able to manage all its content 
  and functions from Windows."

Since we're actually trying to solve the problem of how to copy a photo
from Windows to an iOS device, it behooves us to find a working solution.

Apparently "Documents by Readdle" has a free tier that I will try.
 <https://apps.apple.com/us/app/documents-file-manager-docs/id364901807>

Also, SMB Manager - CIFS Client seems like it might copy a photo over.
 <https://apps.apple.com/us/app/smb-manager-cifs-client/id1141340577>

Likewise, "LAN drive SAMBA Server Client" might copy a photo to the iPad.
 <https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lan-drive-samba-server-client/id1317727404>

But those are clients, I think - but maybe they're also SMB servers? 
With respect to SMB servers versus SMB clients, note this distinction.
 For iOS to receive a file from a Windows PC, you need an iOS SMB server.
 For iOS to retrieve a file from a Windows PC, you need an SMB client.
 (i.e., the server pitches the file to the other device)

If SMB doesn't work, another option is to turn the Windows PC into a
temporary local HTTPS/WEBDAV web server to host the photo for iOS.

One such local web server is "HFS HTTP File Server" which is found here.
 <https://sourceforge.net/projects/hfs/>
 Name: hfs2.3m.zip
 Size: 947592 bytes (925 KiB)
 SHA256: 5B99A22785D90BE6CB39C58E59C89514CC394152AD0BC83FDB5F56A7AD08E05E
When extracted, there is only a single file in the archive:
 Name: hfs.exe
 Size: 2171904 bytes (2121 KiB)
 SHA256: E678899D7EA9702184167B56655F91A69F8A0BDC9DF65612762252C053C2CD7C

Right now, I'm gonna try that hfs solution, where I'll let you all know
what works as it behooves us to be able to copy a file from Windows to iOS.

In summary, I'll solve this problem, but it would be nice if someone else
on this newsgroup has copied a photo from Windows to the iPad before me.
