botnet that can share fserv files?

I am a veteran eggdrop user, but never really used botnet, or linking. I have been trying to find information on possibly doing something that I'm not sure is possible as of yet, or if there are any public scripts to do so, so I will post the idea here, in hope someone might be able to tell me if anything like it exists, or is even possible. I'm sure this concept could be of use to many as it does overcome a few common problems with file serving when one would wish to remain anonymous as far as not advertising thier home ip address, yet does not have the shell space available to store a large number of files. (assuming a proxy is not available)

If one were to link two bots, eggdrop 1, on shell 1, and eggdrop 2, on shell 2. and eggdrop 2 was enabled with a file serving capability via public trigger, serving files located on shell 2, would it be possible for eggdrop 1 to serve files located on shell 2 through the link with eggdrop 2?

Does anyone know if this is possible? did anyone understand what I said? (it's a bit confusing I know, but it's the best I could describe it)

Any help, or input would be appreciated!

Yes, this is allready possible, and the commands to setup, if your like, symlinks to files located on a remote bot, are provided in the filesys.

Type ".file" while on the partyline, to access the system, from where you can see the command provided, in the help system there.

However, it must be noted, that it will take some time before the file is sent to the user.

It doesn't work in a proxy fasion, where 1 byte from Eggdrop2 is directly sent to the user. Instead, Eggdrop1 will download the whole file, before attempting to send.
