How to get a download link or command onto many PCs
You're setting up a batch of new computers and every one needs the same RMM agent link, installer or command. Typing a 120-character URL twenty times is nobody's idea of fun, and neither is signing in to email on each machine.
The three-word workflow
- On your own machine, copy the download link or command and paste it into 123paste.com.
- You get three words, such as rocket mango chair. Write them on a sticky note, or just remember them.
- At each new PC, open a browser, go to 123paste.com, type the three words and press Enter. For a link, click Open link. For a command, click Copy and paste it into your terminal.
- Repeat on as many machines as you need. The same paste can be opened any number of times for 30 minutes.
The PCs don't need to be on the same network, signed in to anything or set up with any software. A browser and an internet connection are enough.
Typical things to share
- RMM or monitoring agent download links
- Links to installers for browsers, office suites or PDF readers
- The URL of your support portal or remote-support tool
- Package manager commands, for example:
winget install --id Google.Chrome -e
Copying a command exactly avoids the classic mistakes: missing quotes, wrong dashes and look-alike characters.
Before you share: a quick security check
Anyone who knows the three words can open the paste until it expires. That's what makes it quick, and it's also why some things shouldn't go in it.
- Many RMM installer links contain a site or customer token. Treat them as sensitive. A 30-minute paste is fine for a supervised setup session, but don't post the words anywhere public.
- Never paste admin passwords, API keys or licence keys. Use your password manager or your RMM's own deployment features.
- Check the domain before you run anything. 123Paste shows the full destination of every link, never a shortened one, so confirm it's your vendor's real site.
When to use something else
For dozens of machines that are already enrolled, use proper deployment tools: Intune, Group Policy, your RMM's deployment packages or an imaging process. The three-word approach is for the gap before a machine is managed, such as fresh out-of-box PCs, one-off fixes, a customer's laptop or anywhere you can't sign in.
It works for classrooms and presentations too
Write the three words on a whiteboard or put them on a slide, and everyone in the room can open the same link in seconds. No QR code apps, no shortened links, no email lists.
Try it now: paste anything on 123Paste, get three words, and open it on any other device. It's free, there's no account, and pastes delete themselves after 30 minutes.
