How do I share files through network(s)? I know this is probably really simple but I cant seem to find anything about network file sharing

[Bomb Bloke]

Use fs.open() to read from / write to disk, and the rednet API to handle your transmissions.

How do I let it receive files? Like is there a new dir called "Network" Or something or... What?

[Cute Froggy :)]

How do I view the messages? And the above question too? ) For rednet.send

[Dog]

In order to receive the messages you need to use rednet.receive() as documented in the wiki. And, to answer you first question - no - no directory is created by the rednet api.

How would I be able to view files?

On the sender computer, you open the file, read it's content and send it to the target computer.

On the receiving computer, you wait for messages. When a message is received, the message content is the file content - save it where you wish.

[Cute Froggy :)]

Are you able to directly save it? Or do you need to read it and copy it yourself?

[Cute Froggy :)]

Okay, rednet wont receive the message. Here's the specs
Computer: Basic Computer
Modem(s): Wired modems, and they're enabled
Code Sender: rednet.broadcast("Hello Wirld!")
Code For Receiver:
local senderId, message, protocol = rednet.recieve()
print(message)
It wont receive the message.
Also wirld was intentional mis-spelling

Well of course not, you spelt "receive" incorrectly.

There's also the matter of calling rednet.open().

[Cute Froggy :)]

Sorry that was a post mis-spelling not code mis-spelling
So I opened up the modems and... It worked! Thanks!

Also, is it possible to execute code in shell?

[Bomb Bloke]

The shell doesn't accept Lua commands directly, no. There's a "lua" script included on each system that gives you a commandline for that purpose.
