Well, I am trying to make File transfer system in Computercraft, I do not need any more knowledge of Rednet, but I am stuck in this thing:
Can I write program using string? Example:
If someone sends string: while true do
*Write the first line, while true do*
Then: print("HELLO WORLD!")
*Write the second line*
And: end
*Write the third line*

...Or...
If someone sends the whole program thing in one string: while true do print("HELLO WORLD!") end

So, is that possible?

It's possible both ways, however i believe the second is harder.

take a look into the fs API Here. More specificially fs.open

A small tutorial for the fs api is here.

The second way is definitely easier. Read the file on one end, send the multiline string, receive it on the other end and write it to the file.

You could actually do this pretty easily by sending the program as a table then looping through the table. I know that this is how the edit program handles file saving.

Why not just send the entire string?

Right now my computers doesn't want to let me quote... but I was just offering another way to do it.
