I know you can use pastebin; but say for example I got 10 turtles (I do actually use 9 for mining); I write a program and everyone on my server wants to use it (I have 8 players - each with 4-5 turtles...) - that's not so much a problem by itself...

BUT, I actually have about 20 programs I've written; and that's a lot of pastebin codes... Isn't there a way (without an admin getting involved) of sharing programs easier? Say like 'mkdir myCCStuff' - and then whoever else uses 'mkdir MyCCStuff' (or a different command) can copy those programs to their own turtles.. There are folders out there for each turtle (0, 1, 2, etc...) - what about custom folders that others can look in? ie. like a shared directory - that's outside the mod's directory.

One other note: I'd really like to say 'copy excavate myexcavate' work... ie. copy a program that's internal to the mod (in the zip file); so you can edit the code....

Thanks

Well you could write a fileserver that distributes them over rednet.. or you could hand out floppy disks

You can easily copy the rom files. The shell will look in the current working directory before looking in the rom/* folders. So you could do this:

cp rom/programs/excavate /excavate
edit /excavate

And edit it. Then, when you execute "excavate", it will run your copy. This only works locally, though(not between computers).
