And does that surprise you?

That is a normal part of setting up a share: deciding what level of 
access those to whom it is shared will have.

Easy there, 51.  I was adding to your instructions for those in this
group who keep saying they can't write to the Windows shared folder.

Hi badgolferman,

Thank you for adding value so that billions of people can do what most of
them don't know how to do - some of whom are on this very newsgroup now.

We want to always add value - so I appreciate that you explained how to get
the SMB process to work so that people can copy a file from a PC to iOS.

This is especially important to me because I generally test everything
before I post but I can't test SMB as it doesn't work in my environment.

One question I'd like you to clarify is whether you can do what people want
to do, which Frank Slootweg also asked - and I concur it's very important.

1. From the PC... (Windows or Linux but I think you're on Windows)
2. Can you *initiate* that file/folder transfer from the PC over to iOS?

Why does it matter where you initiate the transfer...

...I mean unless all you're really looking for is a meaningless "win"?

No, I cannot. Only from the iPhone to the PC.

Well of course.

That's the way a file server and client relation works.

The thing is that for two devices one has in one's possession, it 
doesn't matter if you can't push files from the server to the client...

...because you can PULL them.

Hmm... thanks for the reply but that's not what I asked but I do appreciate
your response. May I clarify the question, since you tried it & I can't?

The first question is whether you can sit at the PC (with the iOS device
nowhere near you) and transfer the files while sitting at that PC.

The reason I ask is that's what everyone wants to do and that's what works
just fine for all the normal people (who are not Apple trolls, of course).

The second question, no matter where you sit (so for this second question,
it's OK to have the iOS device near you) is which direction did not work?

Can a file from the PC be copied to the iOS device in your tests?

Why is that important other than for you to check some box about what 
iOS can't do?

You've not shown that anyone cares at all about that.

And...

Yes, duh!

No, I cannot push or pull files from the PC to phone. I can only push or
pull files from the phone to the PC.

Or in other words, you can both move files to the PC and get files from 
the PC...

...in the exact manner the server/client connections have always worked.

Thanks for clarifying that you can't sit at the PC to initiate the process. 

This is important because that's how everyone wants to do it, and, as
evidence that people want to do it that way, it's how Android works native
with the PC over USB & Wi-Fi, and it's how LocalSend works with iOS too!

It's even how Linux works with iOS. 
 <https://i.postimg.cc/qqg61Rh8/files05.jpg> Ubuntu moves *to* iOS on USB

Since all the noise now is simply the Apple trolls complaining that the way
everyone else does it already is, as always, to these Apple trolls... 
  *(not needed)*   and    *(not wanted)*

We can end the quest since we have a perfectly good working solution now.
 *Tutorial: How to send files from Windows to iOS over the LAN using LocalSend*

 <https://rec.photo.digital.narkive.com/C72eE4gc/tutorial-how-to-send-files-between-windows-ios-over-the-lan-using-localsend>
 <https://www.novabbs.com/computers/article-flat.php?id=86116&group=alt.comp.os.windows-10#86116>

Unless the Apple trolls can improve upon that solution, all they're doing
by complaining that they can't improve upon that solution, is trolling.

Thanks for showing everyone that all you want is a "win" where you can 
say that it doesn't work in some way that doesn't matter.
