I call it the Kizz Easy Storage Solution or KESS.

In essence it allows you to save your programs to a dedicated computer that you wish to use as a storage server, as well as creating new floppies more easily.

Here is the raw code:

Latest Version: 1.25

GitHub: https://github.com/kizz12/KESS

Pastebin here for easier reading/direct integration: http://pastebin.com/xNksymyL

EDIT: Added ability to delete files, change storage directory and view disk.
EDIT2: Added ability to rename floppies and removed a bug involving the disk API.

Some screenies:

Enjoy and feel free to use my code guys. Also I may release a later version with more error catches and more features if requested.

Instead of literally pasting the code, mind putting it in pastebin? It'd help… A lot…

Other than that, great program!

If there is a pastebin link already, I don't think there is a reason to put the whole code here, it only makes the post longer. Pastebin code viewer is better too as it supports Lua syntax highlighting and line numbers, which these forums don't.

I read your code…
You need to work on compacting your code, you can use tonumber(value) to convert to a number and you can use os.pullEvent("char") for your menu.
Also you don't need to write "if value==true" or "if value==false", you can use "if value" and "if not value"

It's the way I program because it's how I learned. It makes troubleshooting and code correction much easier and is the standard for most languages. It may take more space and time but in the end, debugging and formatting is much cleaner. It's personal preference. Plus I'm no master of Lua. I haven't read all the api's and I don't have them memorized. I do appreciate the advice though.
