check if a file exists on an FTP server

Hello,

Using PHP 4, how do you check if a file exists on an FTP server given
its connection information and a directory to check?

Thanks, - Dave

I think there is none, but maby you could rename it with ftp_rename() to the
same name :-)
I'm doing something with FTP 2.

2 options...

1. Use 'ftp_nlist' to retrieve the list of files, and check to see if
your file is there.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-nlist.php

or

2. Use 'ftp_size' to check the file size of a given file (it will
return -1 if the file doesn't exist).

I'd just use fopen, as in
fopen("ftp://user:pa******@e xample.com/somefile.txt", "r")

I have a form that allows the user to upload a file. Even though <input type="file" runat="server"> is intended to have the user choose the file using the browse button, it still allows them to change the path before it is uploaded. I currently use the following code to upload the file: Dim upfilename As String = "" If fileDetails.Value <> "" Then Dim dir As String() = fileDetails.PostedFile.FileName.Split("\".ToCharArray())

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
