Re: Verifying Existence of a File on a Server

[AGlauser@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Perhaps you could use the FTP ls command to get a directory listing, then 
search that list to see if the file in question exists.  Depending on the 
total number of files possible on the Windows server this might be 
problematic.  There may be a way to do 'ls filename.ext' as well ... then 
see if the results show the file or not.

HTH,
Adam
