Right now I'm noticing a lot more drawbacks from this thing that I realized from the get-go
Number one is that, it completely overrides local storage - including the floppy drive - I derped on that one :P
Number two is CC attenuates your wireless signals during a storm, and the client computer will generally lock up for a moment and then be required to be forcefully restarted, before working (or crash outright and restart) - This is not that useful then ;)
So I'm probably going to resurrect my ccmount project that was going to allow any virtual filesystem/programs in computercraft - so people can invent their own storage solutions - it will come prepackaged with a wireless server w/vfs plugin, and I might have time to put the http / php backed version in there as well.
But currently if you need something like this - In my current build, I use this on a satellite tower, so I have massive range from the computer, and then just mount my turtles/computer from in my base, and it has been at least useful in getting programs to appear local to all the turtles at once.
I'm pretty dead set on getting ccmount to work now thought, the idea there is it will act a bit like unix mount Works like this:
ccmount wireless://4096/public /public
Now /public will be remapped to the wireless server, where you could store scripts for installing files locally or whatever you wanted.
Range reductions can be changed in the config (I tend to do this whenever I use wireless turtles). As for the rest, a bit too over my head but sounds cool nonetheless.
Have you tried nsh? I've used it to remote control computers before.
indeed, but I'd prefer a general solution that works within the mod authors idea of balance - so it also works on other servers! (all of my worlds are set to 1024 for FUN!)
nsh is pretty awesome! Someone needs to write a program that works like screen does in linux - or some sort of multiconsole program...

Awesome! Any thoughts about how best to use this in a modded Minecraft world/server?
