Transfer programs between computers

Hi.

I' m trying to write a controll program for stargates from gregs sgcraft.
I made one with all known adresses and a need to send this program to all Computers i use (dont want to update every computer manual if i add a new adress)

Is it possible to send hole programs?
Or can i use an hdd with multiple Computers (and if thats possible, how could i access that hdd)

 

I made a program out of search results from google, many (MANY) lua wikis and a youtube tutorial. am i on the right way or is it just stupid?

shell = require("shell")
file = require("filesystem")
term = require("term")

local dir = shell.getWorkingDirectory()
local args, options = shell.parse(...)

-- this part reads the lines of a file and saves it in a table

if #args >= 1 then
 doc = dir .. args[1]
 print(doc)
 reader = io.open(doc, 'r')
 if reader ~= nil then
  z = 1
  x = {}
  for line in reader:lines() do
   x[z] = line
   z = z + 1
  end
  reader:close()
 end
end

-- this part takes the table and puts the stings back into a file

y = io.open(dir .. args[2], "w")
if y ~= nil then
 for i in pairs(x) do
  y:write(x[i], "\n")
 end
 y:close()
 print("done")
else print("error")
end 

right now it just takes the lines from one program to another on the same computer. i will use a modem to send it to another.

or is there another way to do this?

Thanks

figured it out on my own... i wrote 2 programs (1 for reading and sending and the 2nd for recieving and saving).
