How to share files between ethernet-connected desktop and wifi-connected phone? (piefed.social)

I tried LocalSend to send a photo from my phone to desktop, but the phone cannot detect any the desktop, possibly since the desktop is connected to the network via Ethernet.

I can post the photo to messenger, but that would be suboptimal privacy-wise. How do you guys move photos between phone and desktop? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Sorry that I did not clarify, but the computer is shared for my family, so it has Windows (10) on it. Some country-specific proprietary apps do not like Linux :<

Just allow localsend through the desktop's firewall. It's probably blocked.
