Getting files? [May be confusing]

Is there any function or anything like that to get files from your computer/laptop (Not computer in minecraft, computer that your playing minecraft on) for example fs.get("C:/Users/Andre/Desktop/Computercraft/BlackOS/install","install","startup") what this would do is look on the current computer your playing minecraft on and find that address in argument 1, then the second argument is "install" so it will copy that from your computer and insert that copy into the computer that the program was run on, and argument 3 is what the file will be saved as (if arg. 2 is install) so it will be saved as startup on your computer in minecraft. I hope I wasn't too confusing :)/>/>. (Of course this wouldn't work in multi-player, but i'm talking about single-player)

No that's not possible, you can only access files and directories in '.minecraft/saves/worldname/computer' (or something). And of course the files in /lua/rom in the mod itself, but you can't alter those.

Dang it, I guess i'll just have to stick to moving the files manually. I guess I cant be lazy >_>

You can edit in rom? I do that sometimes.

edit ROM? and fall upwards? ROM = Read Only Memory.

Anyway, that way you don't have to copy the file to every new computer or turtle. You can access the file you're editing in the rom/programs directory from every computer in game.

well before you are rageing here on me, the way you put it sounded like you ment ingame.

Well, ok, misunderstandings happen. But I thought it was more likely that I meant that, rather than that I don't know what rom is. :)/>/> It's not very on topic anyway. :D/>/>

Let's try to minimize the bickering, people. Question answered; locked.
