Is it possible to open a file (text file) from a different location, for example, can I have two computers, opening and editing the same file? (Not at the same time).
This is a read-only snapshot of the ComputerCraft forums,
taken in April 2020.
fs.open possibilities?

Well, it is, but the process isn't exactly simple - you'd basically code up a rednet file server.
How complex it'd need to be, or even if it's necessary at all, depends on what your actual end goal is.

A symlink used to work as well. Not too sure if it still does, but it used to, as long as you had access to the computer files.

The easiest way would be to attach two computers on either side of a disk drive, and edit the disk's files.

Heh, I missed the "not" in the "at the same time" bit. Yes, this is possible. Disk with a file on it is easiest if they're adjacent, otherwise rednet is the way to go.
