It will be saved in the directory `server/{Identity}/copypaste`.⤶ ⤶ [Save to disk](https://files.facepunch.com/jakerich/a1py6Knadzbh/wUV4CdlJACmsQrTj.mp4) ⤶ # Load⤶ ⤶ To load a paste from disk to your clipboard use `loadpaste <name>`. Keep in mind this will replace your current clipboard.⤶ ⤶ [Load from disk](https://files.facepunch.com/jakerich/yrPJo5f0JxAa/jJDlr3jf1Y8tTgrX.mp4)⤶ ⤶ ## Download⤶ ⤶ You can download pastes from a url with `downloadpaste <url> <name>`. If no name is provided it will use the filename of the URL.⤶ ⤶ ⤶ ## Legacy Pastes⤶ ⤶ When CopyPaste was first released it saved pastes on the server under `server/{Identity}/copypaste`. Now we store them on the client under `Rust/copypaste`. ⤶ If you want to download pastes from the server you can check what is on the server with `list_pastes_sv` and download pastes from the server with `download_paste {name}`.⤶ # Filters You can configure what will be pasted by modifying the filters which are client convars that start with `paste_{filter} `. Each one is named pretty self explanatory, use `find paste_` to list them all. <upload src="28cbc/8dcfea9d00af6dd.png" size="100821" name="image.png" /> **Note:** Player models pasted in will have different steam ids to prevent issues with duplicate players on the server. They will still have the same inventory and name. [Video Example](https://files.facepunch.com/jakerich/EIupZiR4ZjwH/NZCf7yXc2zj7DWqO.mp4)
