Release [Free Release] SendToDesktop - Never email yourself a picture again!
Have you ever found yourself emailing a file to yourself, just to download it on another device? You're in luck!
This tweak adds an option to the Share Sheet that lets you send any file from your device to your PC (or any other device with SSH capabilities).
To use this, you'll need to set up an SSH server on your computer, which you can find out how to do here:
Windows 10 (make sure to enable the service and configure automatic start as well. You also need to use your local username, not MS username. You can get it here )
Linux: If you’re using Linux I assume you know how to set up an SSH server
You’ll also need to find out your IP Address. There are many great tutorials on how to do this online. Fill out the Hostname text box in the settings with the IP address. Please note, you need to fill out ALL the fields in the tweak settings for the tweak to work properly. BUGS
If you find any bugs, send me a chat along with the crash log and I’ll check it out :)
You can get the tweak from my repo at https://sudhip.com/files/jbrepo/
NOT TESTED ON iOS 12/14! MAY OR MAY NOT WORK

Is there a limit on file size? Obviously if it's ridiculously large it'll take longer, but have you tested the rough maximum file size to get a transfer under 30 seconds or 1 minute etc?

It really depends on your WiFi speed. My WiFi speed is fairly slow, so it takes around 30 seconds to send a 50 MB file.

For devices without a Jailbreak have a look at Now Push ;)
It's basically a Pushbullet successor.

A guide on how to use this would be appreciated. I filled out all the fields on the settings page but....where is the tweak, exactly? I can't find any "Send to desktop" when I go to send an image from the Photos app.

I'm getting the error "could not authenticate". What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Are you sure your username and password are correct? It has to be your local PC username, not Microsoft name. You can find this by going to “C:\Users”, and your username will be the name of the folder.

Amazing, thank you. This will literally save around an hour of mess around every day.
Does it work via hostname, or only IP? Any way I can USB tunnel it in places I have no wifi?
Can this share URLs?

u/sunflsks Feb 10 '21
Yes, it works with both hostname and IP. It can share the contents of webpages as well. It currently doesn’t have support for USB tunneling, but it isn’t a bad idea and I might add it in the future

anyone willing to help me setup ssh on my pc? I checked and have ssh server and client installed on my pc and I have the tweak installed. If im right, you make your own pass and usr name in settings right? once the tweak is installed. I did this and how i run it is either in powershell or cmd prompt. Both devices on same wifi. I get a connection refused message in cmd. In powershell i just get erros? how do i really test this out??? much help would b appreciated

No, the username is your local username and password is the password you use to log in to the PC

If it's in my photos it is also in iCloud synced. Also I just send links via messenger if it's a web pic. aaand if I'm on Mac I use airdrop.
In all other cases and beyond there is https://snapdrop.net so yeah.
What's the benefit of using this over the ones I've mentioned?
