[How do i transfer files between my computer and iPad without sending it away]

OK,

  iPad and iphones are historically bound up so that file transfer sends YOUR data to someone ELSE before you can get it back. Or (worse) use that virus called iTunes.

  Since the data is sitting inches away and on the same network, is there a reasonable method of transferring files to/fro iPad and a computer like real phones/tablets?

  Maybe a cable, or scp, or even better my own cloud (not someone elses - googledrive, i<whatever>, dropbox,...?

 

   The safest computer is one that is not online (well not turned on also helps).  So, i really don't feel any of the above options are anywhere safe.

 

   The apps i have read into all require that the file format (extension?) be one that they know.  So, raw data (like afphoto and the like) appears to be out of the question for them.  Are there any honest solutions (honest in this meaning infers omission of a 3rd or even 2nd party run by unknown kids in a data center somewhere in the world)?

 

Thanks in advance!

But I think your worries is not necessary  now, cloud tool or iTunes or third-part tool more and more safe than before, whichever tool you use to transfer file between phones.
