It's a service used by several applications, e.g., IACC and FoxCTS to move 
files. In some ways, it replaced the rsh/rexec/rcp services under Solaris.

The security guys haven't complained about it, but I'm not an expert.

Hi Folks,

Any idea what is the role of the FRSExec.exe file in the AWs? Is this a 
required package for the normal operation of the AW? Who uses it?

Any parameters/arguments are passed to it?

I am almost sure this is a service/task to allow/enable some transfer services, 
and I am wondering is this could cause some breach in security (Cyber Security) 
and, if so, if is can be hardened or removed. 

Thanks in advance

Ricardo
