How to access FTP and RDP on guest VM from host VM using Windows 10 Pro?

We have a Windows 10 Pro system and have enabled HyperV on it. We then created a Windows 10 Pro guest VM. What we would like to do is to RDP to the guest VM from the host and also be able to use FTP to the guest VM to download files from the guest to the host. We have setup the FTP and the Remote Desktop services on the guest VM (Microsoft built-in products - no third party.) How do we setup the host so we can login to the guest via RDP or FTP files from the guest to the host? We found this very old article - Copy Files and Communicate with VMs on Hyper-V: Challenges

which seems to point the way but there are references that don't seem relevant to current Windows 10 Pro HyperV setup. We get the theoretical idea of creating another network with a different IP structure and creating new virtual NIC's on that new virtual network - but the actual technical steps have eluded us. Please note that we are not wanting any Internet connectivity for this - it is strictly local - a computer running Windows 10 HyperV connecting to a VM running on that HyperV host. Everything taking place in one computer. No LAN no WAN.

If someone could detail how we could accomplish this along the lines of the step-by-step of the link provided above - Copy Files and Communicate with VMs on Hyper-V: Challenges - it would be much appreciated. Example configs are super-helpful.

 

A Windows 10 Pro OS license how can be used as a VM installation from external ssd

Hello,

I have A Windows 10 Pro OS license OEM key, how can be used as a VM installation in VMware Workstation Pro 17.x, or VirtualBox 7.x…?

In other words if the VM is being used in a host PC Windows 10 Pro, from an external SSD drive, can used or transferred to a secondary host PC or macOS Monterey host VMware Fusion 13.x…? I mean about Windows license issues…well?
