GAE is not "a system you manage" There are no Executables, only code you wrote. GAE doesn't run Windows, or Linux, or Mac OS, it runs GAE.
You could write a virus for GAE but it would only infect your instances so if it did bad things to them it would only hurt you, and would only consume resources you were paying for. I don't think this is the platform for you based on your questions. -----Original Message----- From: google-appengine@googlegroups.com [mailto:google-appengine@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of henry Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2011 4:24 PM To: Google App Engine Subject: [google-appengine] Re: Reading and Writing files using App Engine But I want to make sure if running an executable file is okay because I read somewhere you can't run an executable on appengine b/c what if you're running a virus, for instance.
