Computer Craft Turtle Help?

[Succubism]

Hey so, I have about 14 turtles running at a couple of mob farms which all use the same code to farm. However it's just a pain to have to type in the same program for every turtle.

Is there a way to save the program on a floppy and copy it to other turtles?
Or perhaps run every turtle through one computer remotely?

if you are on SSP you can copy the program from inside the computercraft folder over to each turtle.

I'm on my own SMP server.

ok well then you have access to the save file, just find the computercraft folder and navigate till you find the turtles folder, and copy and paste from the one with the program.

I was hoping for something a little more legit and involved in the mod.

You can use pastebin put FILENAME on a turtle that has the code then use pastebin get CODE FILENAME on the turtle that needs the program. When you do the pastebin put it will give you a code to access the programe/file from another turtle.
Also, you can put a disk drive next to the turtle and it will use it. So you could copy your code to a disk then move the drive and disk to the next turtle and copy the code from the disk.

you can also upload your program into pastebin and use the get command to install the program to each turtle.

How would I go about copying programs to and from disks?

and yes you can use a floppy to store programs

put a drive next to the turtle and put the floppy in it and copy the program over (there will be a new directory named "disk" in the root folder)
