How to Transfer Files from PC to iPhone over Wi-Fi
Описание и применение
Пользователь может безопасно передавать файлы с компьютера на iPhone по локальной Wi‑Fi сети, используя HTTPS, пароль и ручную установку сертификата, без облака и приложений.
Задача
Transfer a PDF, ZIP, or video from a PC to an iPhone over Wi-Fi without using a cable, cloud upload, or phone app.
Результат
The user can securely transfer files from a single PC folder to an iPhone over the local Wi‑Fi network using HTTPS, a generated password, and manual certificate pairing, without any cloud service or phone app.
Рабочий процесс
- Download the portable PC‑to‑iPhone Share release for the host OS.
- Extract the archive and run the executable (e.g., Start‑PC‑to‑iPhone‑Share.cmd or pc‑to‑iPhone‑Share.exe).
- Choose a dedicated folder to share and select the private Wi‑Fi interface.
- Open the local management dashboard URL to view the share password and phone URL.
- On the iPhone, open the phone URL in Safari and verify the local HTTPS certificate by pairing the phone with the PC’s public certificate profile.
- Enter the generated share password in Safari to authenticate.
- Browse the folder, tap a file, and download it to the iPhone’s Files app.
- When finished, stop sharing via the dashboard or terminate the console process.
Доказательства
I built PC to iPhone Share for a smaller workflow: choose one computer folder, open it in your phone's browser, and download what you need directly over the local network.
The phone needs to be paired with the computer's local HTTPS certificate.
The app creates a local certificate authority for the installation, and the receiving device needs to trust its public certificate.
Open the exact HTTPS phone URL, enter the generated share password, and tap a file.
