We've solved _many_ problems together, but this is one of the tougher ones. The first step, always, is _understanding_ the problem set. a. Ubuntu long ago beautifully solved the problem set (using iFuse) b. Android also long ago handily solved the problem set (using MTP) c. It's only iOS that needs a better 2-way Windows USB file xfer solution Paul is likely correct that Microsoft doesn't have an interest in supporting a Windows iFuse port for the reasons Paul already eloquently stated. So we're on our own with those attempts at an iFuse-like port to Windows. What I promise is: a. If the trolls try to derail this thread, I will ignore them. b. I will try to test _every_ viable feasible solution that is proposed. c. I don't have any hopes of solving this alone (as I'm not a coder). If I ever do come up with a solution, it will be in following someone else's footsteps, but what I can do is write up a tutorial so others can follow me. -- What makes Usenet valuable is good hearted purposefully helpful people.
