I'm trying to transfer some files I have on the left computer to the right computer using the right computer. The one thing I can't figure out is what the computer is, normally for a disk in a disk drive you type fs.copy("disk/whatever","whatever") but I can't figure out what the left computer is.

Computers do not work the same way as disk drives, you cannot access files across networks.

However, several rednet transfer programs have been written - you can tell the right computer to receive a message and save it, then tell the left computer to send the file contents through rednet. It's easiest if you get a program off the forums, but if you wish to create your own you may.

Like king said, computers can't be accessed like a disk drive

Feature request maybe?


You could try using just one computer. What are you trying to do anyway?
