Running program from code off my host?

Hello everybody.

I've been away from the CC community for a while but today I have decided to fiddle around with CC again. I was thinking that a good learning experience for me would be to try a fun project. My goal was to see if I could run code that is grabbed from my host. There is a file on my host that contains lua code. Everything is working fantastic, but then I approached a question… I want to be able to run that code without the file actually downloading to the computer, if that is possible. Simply creating a file and running it then deleting it works, but I want to make it as secure as possible, since anyone can just ctrl+r it and the file will still exist on the computer. I know pastebin has the option to just run a file but I can't figure it out.

My question is, how can I get the computer to run code passed to it from a file on my host, without saving it somehow to the computer?

I hope the question makes sense. Please feel free to ask anything else if it will help determine the answer. Thanks again!
