These iKooks are _desperate_ to deflect the technical point from the SUBJECT
*Read _&_ write to the entire visible file system of both devices over USB*

Time and again, it's clear they didn't even _read_ their own links!

This is the _first_ sentence of that link, for example:
"Instead of File Sharing, consider using iCloud Drive, Handoff, or AirDrop
to keep your documents up to date across all of your devices."

Why do you _think_ Apple says that?
HINT: Apple _knows_ iTunes' USB file sharing is merely "barely rudimentary".

Despite the iKooks being _desperate_ to derail this thread (which we easily
predicted they would do in the opening post), the salient facts remain:

1. Android works out of the box <https://i.postimg.cc/9MGdc2s7/files10.jpg>
2. So does Linux out of the box <https://i.postimg.cc/s2x0f9Js/files14.jpg>
3. Even Apple iPods do it <https://i.postimg.cc/fRtZFGSt/sharepod01.jpg>
4. iOS? <the only known possible solution is an iFuse port on Windows>

The USB file xfer goal can be resolved by finding an iFuse port for Windows.
I'm _not_ a developer and I don't have _any_ experience compiling iFuse.

Hence this question of people who are better at such things than I am.
I can follow in your footsteps (as I try every viable solution proposed).

Is there anyone here who knows iFuse better than I do that can help us?

The only known solution is Windows iFuse (but we haven't found a port yet)

Poor little Arlen can't get past sentence one. Yet the rest of the
document gives simple steps showing how to do two-way file transfers to
and from apps on iOS devices and your Windows computer:

See which of your iOS and iPadOS apps can share files with your computer
1. Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
2. Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer using the
USB cable that came with your device.
3. Click your device in iTunes.
4. In the left sidebar, click File Sharing.
5. Select an app to see which files are available for sharing in that
app on your device.

Copy files from your computer to your iOS or iPadOS app
1. In iTunes, select the app from the list in the File Sharing section.
2. Drag and drop files from a folder or window onto the Documents list
to copy them to your device. You can also click Add in the Documents
list in iTunes, find the file or files you want to copy from your
computer, and then click Add. iTunes copies these files to the app on
your device.

Copy files from an iOS or iPadOS app to your computer
1. In iTunes, select the app from the list in the File Sharing section.
2. Drag and drop files from the Documents list to a folder or window on
your computer to copy them to your computer. You can also select the
file or files that you want to copy to your computer from the Documents
list and click "Save" then find the folder on your computer to which you
want to copy the files and click Save.

Why do you think Arlen ignores the rest of the document and focuses only
on single sentence?

> Why do you _think_ Apple says that?
> "Instead of File Sharing, consider using iCloud Drive, Handoff, or
> AirDrop to keep your documents up to date across all of your

Because those methods are actually even easier than fumbling around with
a cable, hooking your "mobile" device to it, connecting the other end to
your computer, and opening a window to manually transfer files. But we
get it, Arlen: you *hate* easy and elegant file transfer methods with a
passion, especially when they are contrasted with the cumbersome
methods. : )

A USB cable does nothing with my flip-phone except charge it. I've used
bluetooth a few times to get pictures off my phone. Would bluetooth help
Orlon with his problem-set?

Wireless transfers are far too advanced and nowhere near cumbersome
enough. It absolutely *must* be done over a USB cable. Sorry. You've
"lost" his little game. Thanks for playing.

Nothing will help him with his problems other than medical intervention.
