I want to run a program on a monitor over a wired modem. So far no luck can anyone help me out? My goal is to use a input and with that input to locate the file and send it to the monitor and run it.

Sort of mine is wired modem. I am sure there is also a simpler way of doing it like that.

Ah sorry I misread your first comment.
With wired modems you simply connect the computer and the monitor (it should say which monitor is connecting, ie monitor_05)
then you just wrap it, lets say local mon = peripheral.wrap('monitor_05')
then you can refer to it like mon.print("Whatup")

Ik that i wanted to run a program not just simple text. But i am fine now i made a relayer using a program sender to a computer next to the monitor then it is set to project the program onto the monitor. But if there is a simpler way someone please tell me.

Run:

monitor monitor_0 program

replacing monitor_0 with the monitor number (you find this when you right click the modem) and program with the program's name.
