I need to fetch files from a tablet that is connected to a Wi-Fi network and transfer them to an iOS app. The files are stored on a network-connected device. I know that FTP protocol has been deprecated in iOS, so I'm wondering if there are any alternative ways to achieve this? Can anyone suggest a secure and reliable protocol or tool that can be used for this purpose? Thanks in advance!
Do you control the software running on this tablet?
ps You’ve probably seen this already but, just for the benefit of anyone else who stumbles across this thread, here’s a link to my general post about FTP: On FTP.

I don't have control over the software on tablet. This tablet runs on the Windows 10 operating system and can host IIS (Internet Information Services) and that supports FTP.

In that case this is primarily a question for the tablet’s vendor. Does it support the operations you need via a network protocol other than FTP? Once you know that, you can then look for APIs that implement that protocol on iOS. [Hint: If it’s HTTP, then URLSession should be your first stop.]
