Simple. Just use Star Commander!

I use an XE1541 (http://sta.c64.org/xe1541.html) cable, Star Commander V0.82 (Star Commander V0.82) and a DOS bootdisk for these matters.
There are a bunch of solutions (perhaps much more suitable and/or easy), others will say more.

Starcommander for DOS, with an XE1541 cable.
cbm4linux for linux, with an XM1541 cable
cbm4win/gui4cbm4win for windoze, with an XM1541 cable
These days I add a switch to the cables I make so they can be used as XM or XE cables.... tis the best idea I find. |

I use my MMC64 with the disk reader plug-in and a MMC/SD-cardreader on a computer, which is quite the most flexible way, because it works on every computer that can read from a FAT16 formatted SD card.
The only bad thing is that the reader is currently very slow...
Okay, the MMC64 costs around 50 euro

64Copy V4.20 is perfect for that.
You can prepare your D64 with this tool and transfer it with SC or Warpcopy.

The best and safest way to transfer stuff is doing it via network in combination with a retro replay. You would use warcopy by graham/oxyron for it.
You can read/write discs without any hassle and have error-log/correction/re-read of sectors.
It needs a retro-replay catridge and the RR-Net for it. Thats about 100 Euros but worth every single cent.
No shitty troubles with sta-commander or some other dos-tools.

Yep,Star Commander works only under Dos.I tried this tool with the Win XP Plug-ins,but it crashed.
The fastes and best way is RR-Net. |

I have a first generation Catweasel. I used it to transfer my Amiga and preliminary C64 collections.
I have since found several boxes of C64 disks, but I can't get the bugger to work under XP...
Maybe someday.

You can make a windows 98 start cd.Then you can use star- Commander.
Or you can list your disks with Supersorter and then you could send the list to Acidchild or Mason.Perhaps you have some jewels.

Once you get the bugger make sure to visit http://rrforum.ath.cx/ and have a look at the documentation section. Xiny6581 made some ok docs to get you up and running. |

Come on, do a bit of research yourself. Everything is explained nicely on the homepages of the products, don't have us serve everything on the silver plate for you... |

surely its better to talk to the experts as they can tell you without having to do all the reading |

As if the experts don't have anything better to do than explaining the obvious to people who are too lazy to do a little bit of homework themselves... Sir, you're expressing a good deal of ignorance and arrogance!
Edit: That's purely my personal opinion, not necessarily related to this website at all. Don't want to discourage people from explaining it all over again. |

Those cables are easy to get (and cheap), turbo mode is fast,easy and reliable, I've done a lot transfer stuff the last "years", so you needn't bother the Experts :) ...
But I wouldn't recommend this way for the Amiga ;)) |

Argh, I was a little harsh, sorry. Reread the whole thread and noticed that the answers aren't as trivial as it seemed on first glance...
1.
RR+RR-NET - no, no need to connect to the internet to use this. Although you could connect to a router or PC network with it (and in turn access internet with it with f.e. Contiki).
2.
Quote:also this link to a pc doesnt it??
Sorry? It links your C64 with a PC in one of these two ways:
C64 -> RR -> RR-Net -> Router/Switch -> PC
C64 -> RR -> RR-Net -> PC
Does that answer your questions? |
