An even easier way and more universal maybe using HTTP is to just hit the URL where the file might exist via http and then check for an HTTP 404 error (Not found). Http since it's stateless is easier and doesn't require an FTP server.

DO wwHttp  && load libs

LOCAL loHttp as wwHttp
loHttp = CREATEOBJECT("wwHttp")

loHttp.HttpGet("http://west-wind.com/wconnect/InvalidFile.html")

*** "Not Found"
? loHttp.cErrorMsg

*** "404"
lcStatus = loHttp.cResultCode
? lcStatus

IF lcStatus = "404"
   ? "File not found on server"
ENDIF

Depends though whether you can get at the flles you need to via either HTTP or FTP... Either requires a server.
