I can vouch for this combination having used it myself in the past. I have
also used Contiki and Uthernet to download from the internet, both images
to real disk, and also files to CFFA.

As for local transfer, Ciderpress on PC and CFFA or Superdrive (1.44M)
in the Apple IIe is a great way to sneakernet images and files to the A2 and
vice-versa.
