   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?
