Question About File Transfers and Mobile Networks
I was transferring files from my phone to a computer. I am connected to a mobile network (5G) and I was curious if any servers on the network can/did store any of my computers identifying information, like, that I connected to such and such computer, or if it only shared storage between devices.

the routers that operate the internet can't afford to store all that information
it would depend how you transfered the files but if you connected to an FTP server for example and you did it through your data and just connected to your home's IP address, that would've gone through your ISP and some other places
and those ISPs would know the publicly routable IP addresses for that
but both your mobile data and your home are behind NAT, so they would've seen basically your carrier's IP address and your home's IP address, but they wouldn't have a ton else
I used a cord. Usb-A to usb-C.
yea you have absolutely nothing to worry about
that connection doesn't connect to the internet at all
Thank you!
