The files seem to be on the iPad at the top level... https://i.postimg.cc/QdM0WF6H/i-Pad-Files-US-Citizenship-Naturalization-Questions.png
But, I can't seem to find the files from the iPad. Sorry, I'm an iPad newbie doing this for my neighbor, who is studying to become a US
citizen. On top of that, the iOS is in a foreign language. :-)

Linux is in the real world. No Apple device works in the real world.
In fact, Apple _hates_ their devices working in the real world.

Linux isn't supported.
It doesn't exist (to Apple).
Which is to say that Apple devices are designed ONLY for the walled garden.
When you're logged into Apple servers every moment of your life.
Apple devices, as a result, are nothing more than dumb terminals.
However, you can certainly do whatever you want to do.
If you're clever.
And with a little knowledge...

Bear in mind you can always use ShareDrop (which isn't described below
as ShareDrop came after all those tutorials were written).

I've done it all, but I haven't bothered in years as my newest iPad is only used for Google Voice nowadays - as iOS doesn't do anything Android doesn't already do (but iOS runs GV BETTER than Android does - so it's useful).

Thanks, good to know. I knew there was some iOS file system rules I was missing. So simple yet so hard to find when you need to know. But, these types of file system rules are really arbitrary and senseless.
Come on, Apple !!
Also, just invested in a Plug-n-Play USB adapter for iPad. This should
make it easier for my neighbor.
But, the "archaic" DCIM file system rule
is really an embarrassment for a pioneer company like Apple.
It may have been fine when it was hidden back then but it is now
sticking out like a sore thumb.
Come on, Apple !!

In case it helps, the Files app on iOS understands SMB file sharing. Just hit the three dots and choose 'Connect to server'. Then you can drag and drop.
Do you put your kitchen utensils in the bathroom cabinet? Is your car
parked in your bedroom?
It's sensible to store things in proper locations to make them easy to find. The entire Mac OS, and hence almost every other modern OS, was designed
so people could store their files in folders to make organising and
finding them much easier.
Putting things any old where is what lazy and disorganised people do,
and then they complain that they can't ever find anything.
If you use the iPad as it was meant to be used, then files
automatically go where they need to. The problems occur when people
start meddling by using "manager" apps to move files around. :-(
