Hello @gjlping! Sorry for taking a bit longer than expected to reply to you.

  1. ipfs add file not shown in webui?

ipfs add file adds a file to the IPFS repository. Not to the MFS, which stands for Mutable File System (read more). What we show on Web UI "Files" section are the files from MFS.

2、ipfs dht findprovs QmWzL7hPsMux8aVwdxRSRXQV2yPhV4cVimsdr9Bw6wSRYt why only my local node?

What do you mean? Doesn't it return anything?

3、Why can't I access the shared url?

What do you mean by shared URL? Is it the URL you get when you share a file? Something along the lines of share.ipfs.io? If it's not accessible there, please try on the main gateway (http://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmHash).

There might be issues accessing your node. Is it open to the network? No firewall blockings?

4、Why After file addition, node B needs ipfs swarm connect to get A file

Node B does not need to connect to node A manually to get the file. If you do that, it will be faster. But if you don't, node B will eventually find node A and retrieve the file.

Hope this helped!
