@PinkSnail The questions related to specific mods would be better asked in their dedicated forums but I will help just to get you started. First of all you want to search for the folder that contains your Save files for that specific world. So go in <yourLauncherfolder>\FTBBETAA\minecraft\saves\<yourWorldName>\computer
Here you will see folders for every single computer/turtle you have in that world. Every folder is named after the id of that turtle/computer. Just search for the one you need and drop the files in there. Cheers!

I was able to find the individual folders without issue, but is there a way to make a global folder? I move my turtles a lot, and so do others in my world. It gets tiresome having to yell at the admin (me) to move their programs every time they move the turtle. Either that or tell the turtle to go up in the air, over to their new destination, and back down...
If the turtles are labelled, then any programs they have are stored in the turtle, so breaking it and moving it will take the program with it (without admin assistance).
I put my programs in the rom directory inside the ComputerCraft.zip file. You have to keep adding them any time that the mod pack is updated, and you have to do it on the server if you are playing SMP. And make sure you keep a backup of the ComputerCraft.zip file incase Windows corrupts the zip file, which mine keeps doing.
If you're playing on someone elses server and want to handle it all yourself, then you have a couple of options:
In the operating system type
to stop the turtle resetting to a default one when it is picked up, meaning it stores any programs you save to it.
Alternatively use a disk drive and save the program to a floppy disk. I did this for a while until I found out about labels. There is sense in doing both, if you want to copy the program to multiple turtles.

All you need to do is close the window all together, make the notepad files on your desktop, open up the computercraft.zip folder with winrar 7zip winzip etc., open lua, then rom, then programs, then turtle, and drag the notepad files into the turtle file and click yes and open ftb and edit them all you want
