Hi

Does anyone know of another way to check if a file exists without using the
FileSystemObjec t?

Do you mean like System.IO.File. Exists( string fileName )?

Am trying to use FileSystemObjec t to check if a file exists on a remote
server, but am having trouble with the permissions. So I was wondering if
anyone has an alternative method of checking if a file exists.

The FileSystemObjec t is a scripting library COM object, it has nothing to do
with .NET.
Use the framework IO classes as Tim told you.

I am using the IO class, but through coding in Classic Asp, I am just used
to calling it the FileSystemObjec t. Sorry for any confusion caused.

I see, if your problem is permissions related you will have to solve this
first, no other method exist that potentially could bypass the security
system.
