Hi Paul,

I appreciate you sticking with the focus on the solution of how to copy a
photo from Windows to iOS without having to use the Internet to do it.

I figured it out just moments ago, and it works so well that I will write
up a step-by-step tutorial so that EVERYONE on Windows can do it too!

It turned out to be easy - but of course - that's after I tried a bunch of
methods, all of which failed of course - but this last method worked great!

Essentially, all you do, to get a file from Windows to iOS, is serve it
on Windows in any web server and let the iOS web browser download it.

The web server that I used, which worked after dealing with the Windows
firewall, was this open source tiny web server for Windows PCs.
 <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

I'll write up a tutorial so that others can do in two minutes what took me
two hours, which I will post for everyone else to benefit from our work!

The good news is this method should work for billions of people.
It doesn't require any other software but this open source HFS server.
I didn't have to mess with anything other than the Windows firewall.

Finally, we can do something as trivial as copy a file from Windows to iOS!
