I've made some progress towards my goal: gphoto2 (hints from here) works if you use the function "Remote control  (EOS Utility)", rather than "Connect to smartphone".

I can list and download photos. The speed is 1.9MB/s in optimal conditions, so roughly 14 seconds to transfer a raw+jpg. This is far below the supported 802.11n standard (similar speed reportedhere), so that's a very limiting factor.

Functional, but not yet great.

I'm looking for wireless image.canon functionality, without the canon part. (I'm one of those guys I guess). Or wireless tethering without windows. My target is a 6D mk1.

Is this a pipe dream? Is there a pre-existing solution, or building blocks?

Can I write a lua script so the camera connects to a wifi network and starts uploading to an endpoint of my choosing, preferably in an easy protocol like ftp/sftp/http/...? (I'm new to lua but not other scripting languages, but it would still be an investment)

Or Is there a way to do the inverse and have an android or linux machine pull images out of the camera over wifi?
