How to write a file to a mounted directory?

Hi, this is a nice piece of kit you got here. Makes development outside of Minecraft far easier and simpler.

I'm trying to have a program write a file to my hard drive through ComputerCraft's fs API. However, I think I'm unable to write the file because when I mount a directory to the shell it defaults to read-only (as indicated by viewing mount with no arguments).

The documentation states that you can specify an optional third argument when mounting a real folder to the shell to specify whether its read-only or not, but the format of that third argument is not stated. I've tried passing 'false' as the third argument for 'readOnly', but no luck. What am I missing?

CraftOS-PC has a mount_mode configuration option to control whether you can write to mounts. By default, it's set to ro strict, which means writing is entirely disabled, even if the readOnly parameter is false. This is done for security reasons (mainly to avoid arbitrary scripts from modifying files outside the sandbox). You can run config set mount_mode ro to switch it to mount read-only by default, but still allowing you to enable writing (or use rw to make it writable by default, but this is a bit dangerous).

Perfect, thank you very much. Safety isn't a concern at the moment since I'm only planning on running code that I've written myself. I suppose I should have scoured the configuration settings a little more astutely. Sorry for bothering you.
