+==== How to copy files from X to Y ?====
+See instructions above. Just substitute the memory stick and SD cart with what you try do do. - Like 'internal flash memory to usb stick'.
 ==== SAVE command does not save files! ====
 You need to have a disk image mounted to be able to save something to it. See {{ :book:c64u-user-guide-1st-edition.pdf |page 20 of the User Guide}} about how to use and mount a disk image.

 This FTP-server is intended for use on your local network only. If you wish to access it externally setup a VPN to your local network. - And no, SMB is not supported.
+==== Can I put a password on the FTP/Telnet/Web remote access?  ====
+Yes, you can.
+Simply go in 'The Menu' to //Network Services// and //TimeZone// and for the //Network Password// option, provide a password and save it to flash.
+From this point forward, the password provided will be required to authenticate via Telnet, FTP and Web Remote Control.
+Note that these services are not supposed to be accessible from the internet. So it is to protect access from other users in your local network.
+==== Can I FTP/Telnet/Web remote access to my C64U from the internet?  ====
+No, not by default. This is intended to be used on your local network only.
+But obviously if you really wish to do that you could expose it externally with the right software-hardware. If you have your own intern router that is likely it has that option. If it is a device provided by a large ISP probably not.
+A secure way to access your C64U externally is to setup a private VPN to your home netwerk. Then you just VPN to your home network and then you are on you local network while being remote.
 ==== I can not open a .DNP file I created? ====
 A DNP file is a disk image of a Commodore 64 hard‑disk (CMD) partition. It isn’t a regular file you can open with a normal program, and it can’t be “mounted” like a USB stick.

-===== Is there any benefit to buying JiffyDOS if you don’t use any external floppy drives? =====

-  * Yes, in fact you will not be able to fully take advantage of JiffyDOS to speed up your external drive without adding a physical JiffyDOS ROM to it. But you can swap virtual drive ROMs all you want. So it's extremely useful.
-    * JiffyDOS will work if you have it running on a 64 and not in a drive, or in a drive but not the 64, you just don’t get the speed benefit. You need it in both for that.
-      * That completely depends on what drive you use, and what software you run. - There absolutely is (copy protected) software from the first half of the 1980s which will fail on anything other than a completely unmodified 1541 drive, so... no jiffydos, no speeddos or anything like that, and that same software also won't work on any other drive, so no 1571, no 'clone' 1541s unless they have a 100% identical rom, etc. - Also, let's just settle on a workable definition of 'works'. Technically, having a jiffydos rom in a drive but not in your computer 'works', as in it will not stop you from using that drive. But JiffyDOS itself will not 'work' in that case, it won't be used, the regular non JiffyDOS IEC protocol will be used instead. - JiffyDOS only works, as in, actually does something, with a JiffyDOS rom in your computer. If there is a JiffyDOS rom in the drive also, that will speed things up, but even when there isn't, you still get the dos wedge functionality of JiffyDOS, so... in that configuration JiffyDOS actually does something. - But to make full use of it, JiffyDOS must be installed in both computer and drive. - This from someone with 30 years of exprience using JiffyDOS and being familiar enough with the code to have made some fixes for it.

 On the Ultimate, such a cartridge can of course be emulated by loading the appropriate .CRT file so you don't have to have the physical cartridge handy, and you can save to virtual .D64 images instead of real floppies, but the underlying concept is the same.
