You can do that, but remember you have 4 (8 for large) minutes from the moment you start downloading to the moment submit both output and source. However, if your code works like that, from standard input to standard output, you can simply redirect files instead doing it manually. Let's say you program is called "program" :), and have downloaded an input file called test.in you can generate file.out like this in the terminal:
program < test.in > file.out This works in both Linux and Windows, and have never tried, but I assume it works on Mac too.
