hello everyone, i need to check a file exists or not on a server. I've tried several function & command but dont understand how to cook them properly. Can anyone teach me whats the exact command to check a server file existance?
The command will be - if the file exists, it will ask to download
I've found some examples in this forum; but all r ftp based, I mean to get a file I need to know username & pass. But I'm talking about downloading from a direct link. & the file is in rar format.
replies r most appreciated

Hi,
I wonder if my previous reply was useful?
Since this is a very old thread about a different subject, it is better to start a new thread.
Kind regards,
Mark

Hi,
Just download the file and check the result. I should be like this:
Code: Select all
put URL "http://ww.domain.xyz/filedoesntexist.zip" into myData
put the result into rslt
if rslt is not empty then
beep
answer error rslt
else
// continue handling the data
end if
I still think it would have been better to start a completely new thread.
Kind regards,
Mark
