Verifying Existence of a File on a Server

["Fisher, Don" <dfisher@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am creating an association between some iSeries data and files that reside on 
Windows servers.  When the file name is entered, I'd like to verify the file 
exists, but I'm not sure how.  F.T.P. won't work since it just returns the "226 
- Transfer Complete" message whether the file exists or not.  I suppose I could 
write a little Visual Basic program that would update a file on the iSeries 
with a code.  My instincts tell me there must be a better way though.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
