Sidenote 1: It's not my personal iPad. I would probably never buy one. :-) Sidenote 2: I'm rolling my own "cloud" infrastructure for decades, so no need for 3rd party services. :-) > This is trivial to do, but I think you've excluded all the > trivial ways to do it.

This sounds far to complicated, given the assumption that you can easily transfer files using a USB cable, with the source device being compatible to the long-ago established mass storage access standards. As I know now, this assumption is _wrong_, due to the work Apple put into designing the internals of iOS. > The one thing that is least likely to work is trying to get > FreeBSD to talk to the iPad directly.

As you can see from one answer in this thread, someone got it working (even though with an iPhone, not an iPad, but with iOS 11 as well), so it's at least worth the try. Sidenote 3: Printing from the iPad to a printer with enabled wireless interface worked quite nicely (via WLAN). But I will not print all the images and then scan them! ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
