I would like to point out my simple technique for exchanging files with
other devices on the same LAN. I haven't been following these very Proustian
threads of yours (Proustian in terms of *length*), so I'm unaware how many
photos you're wanting to download from your phone (this solution may not
scale for the movement of a great number of files), but
snapdrop.net
in a browser on both the sending and receiving device has worked for me
here on occasion (of course, as you're well aware, I don't adhere to the
high hacker standards of some of our more venerable correspondents).
It all happens locally with Javascript, if ever you would want to try it out.
À bientôt,
C
