It's interesting Apple trolls hate tech questions, even as simple as how to
copy a photo from Windows to the iOS device without the Internet involved. 

The Apple trolls can't do it.
So they are desperate to shut down the question.
For fear of what the answer may reveal about how crippled iOS truly is.

On the normal adult operating system newsgroups, we're working the problem
where they've first suggested fsquirt bluetooth file transfer to iOS.
 <https://www.novabbs.com/computers/article-flat.php?id=86069&group=alt.comp.os.windows-10#86069>

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

It's doubtful anyone on the child-like Apple newsgroups has ever done
something as trivial as copying a photo from Windows to the iOS device
without using the Internet (given iOS devices are just dumb terminals).

But this thread was opened in the hope that at least one Apple user on the
Apple newsgroups has copied a photo from Windows to iOS on their own LAN.

One option, of course, is to use Apple's trojan bloatware replacement for
the deprecated and inscurely 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>

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.

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/>

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.
