Heh heh heh... 
I laughed when I saw this, as I thought it was repartee done apropos.

I'm beginning to think Tyrone isn't nospam, as I doubt nospam could come up
with any suggestion that actually stood any chance of actually working. 

Let's compare the 2 tutorials the way the Apple trolls compare everything.

Tutorial:  How to send files between platforms using SMB
 Words: 765 
 Characters: 4,507 (This count includes spaces and punctuation)
 Paragraphs: 20

Tutorial: How to send files between platforms using LocalSend
 Words: 407
 Characters: 2,335 (including spaces and punctuation)
 Paragraphs: 27

Using the method all the Apple trolls have used for decades to assess the
complexity of a subject, my tutorial, at 407 words, is ~50% less complex.

Since I'm always sensible and reasonable, I don't disagree at all with the
method that Tyrone is espousing. (What I had disagreed with were the lies.)

The SMB method won't work for me (simply because I don't live in the
slums), but it will work for people who have a password on their account.

Your tutorial is nice but the users here need to know that images and
videos (in the iOS DCIM directory) are handled differently than most files.

It's just a few more steps to get other formats into "Files", which is
documented over here in a Tutorial that is still about 50% less complex by
the measure that Apple trolls have used for decades to assess complexity.

Decades ago, I set up CAPS (for the mac), CIFs/SMB (for Windows) and Samba
(for SunOS & Solaris) to get the marketing & engineering teams to share
docs. This was before "the web" existed as a thing in corporate worlds.

The Apple resource fork and data fork aside, I was able to do it so I'm
well aware of SMB networking. I agree it works for a lot of people even
today (although the Apple trolls always claim Apple has to be courageous to
remove stuff that works - like the aux jack - simply because it works).

Is Columbia AppleTalk Protocol still a thing?

The sandbox. iOS has that sandbox. Don't forget the iOS sandbox Tyrone.

Since I'm always sensibly logical, I agree with you that SMB can work for
many people under many circumstances, and has worked for decades, Tyrone.

Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages (e.g., LocalSend is
used by, I think it was Elijah, for Android-to-Android, while wasbit used
it because his Windows version was old - as I recall).

Me? 

I'll use it because I don't have a password on my Windows box (because I
don't live in the slums, that's why); but I recognize most people do.

Thanks for adding value to this newsgroup. Much appreciated.

Thank God you didn't suggest that iTunes which Jolly Roger insisted we use.
