Thanks again

Hi,

The above is enough to speed up your 'testing', I think. 😉 Even though it's not exhaustive, rather simplified - there are many more possibilities. Use your domain (or IP) and username in provided examples.
Good luck!
In fact, I've never used it.
Yours are very useful links.
Thanks again.
