Recently, I bought an Apple device. Not something I am proud of. Like, I expected it was not cross compatible with the operating system I am using.  I was searching for way to transfer files from gnu\Linux to Apple Ipad. There were several workarounds I found. This is the simplest solution and that too FOSS way.

1. Install VLC in your apple IPAD.
2. Go to Network and Select Sharing via Wifi.
