anyone know how to set the name of a floppy disk when attached to a disk drive over the network?

this code requires computer b, the receiving computer, to have a drive on the left. and for both computers to have wireless modems on the top
btw, this is by no means secure
computer a:
computer b:
btw, this is by no means secure
computer a:
rednet.open('top')
write('Label: ')
r = read()
rednet.broadcast(r)
computer b:
rednet.open('top')
i, m = rednet.receive()
shell.run('label set left ' .. m)

you MIGHT be able to set it directly using wired modems and just wrapping it as a peripheral.
sadly i dont have access to a mc installation rn so i cant test.
these wonderful pages on the wiki might be able to help:
http://www.computerc...wiki/Disk_(API)
http://www.computerc...eripheral_(API)
http://www.computerc...Peripheral_APIs
and here is some code that *MIGHT* work:

ModemID = 'disk_0'
d = peripheral.wrap(ModemID)
d.setLabel('ThisIsALabel')

When using the disk API, you'd simply do:
If you wanted to wrap the drive as a peripheral, you'd do:
DQM, please don't post code unless you know it works. If you have to wait to test it, then by all means wait - it's better than causing confusion by posting incorrect info.
disk.setLabel("drive_0", "NewLabel")If you wanted to wrap the drive as a peripheral, you'd do:
local drive = peripheral.wrap("drive_0")
drive.setDiskLabel("NewLabel")DQM, please don't post code unless you know it works. If you have to wait to test it, then by all means wait - it's better than causing confusion by posting incorrect info.

There is always the wiki to check that you are using an API correctly
