    Any advantages to this over scp, samba/nfs, or even something like LocalSend?

      Basically the advantage is that it’s ridiculously easy to set up. You just install the app and open it. The downside is that it’s ad-hoc. It’s not meant to be a long running server like smb.

        I’d argue LocalSend is a lot simpler. Install the app on both devices, open it, transfer files. Zero configuration needed in the majority of cases.

          There’s no configuration needed for QuickDAV either, and it works on anything with a browser. You could transfer files to your Nintendo DS. ;)
