[R] How to automatically set R to read the files from a specific location

[Bert Gunter]

I may well be wrong, but I believe you will need to give more info on
where the files are located (e.g. on a remote server, on a website, a
local machine, ...), whether they consist only of data or whether
there are packages with functions that need to be used, etc.

A better approach might be to combine data and files into a package,
put the package where you all have access, and then give your prof the
code to download it from there.

Others may have better ideas, so do wait for more responses.
