Why LocalSend is better than USB on Windows:
No insecure Apple drivers

Why is that less secure than this:

1. Install the required apps
a. On the iPad, install LocalSend <https://localsend.org/download>
b. On the desktop, install LocalSend <https://localsend.org/download>
c. On the iPad, install VLC <https://www.videolan.org/vlc/>

To my mind use <https://localsend.org> make "secret debt" to end user.
The same is true for VLC: Personally I use VLC on PC and on mobile, but
my mind and my conscience involve to make donation. So it will be wise
to recode the videos to iPod native format in order to use build in
video player.

So: In order to avoid framing your readers, you should advice they: <https://localsend.org/pl/donate>
<https://www.videolan.org/contribute.html>

In summary, this is one way to transfer large MP4 and associated SRT files from the desktop to an iPad over Wi-Fi without iTunes, without USB, without too many Apple restrictions & without relying on VLC's flaky Wi-Fi upload.

I rely on magic-wormhole for this use case. It has command-line and
graphical clients for almost every platform and has never failed me. It
is one of the few pieces of software that "Just Works(tm)".

On the very rare couple of occasions I've needed to trasnfer files
(mainly photos) between any two of MacOS, iPadOS, Andriod, I've used InstaShare. It can be a bit flakey initially getting the two devices to
see each to connect, but otherwise works fine.
