How to check whether a remoting file exists? - WeOnlyDo Discussion board

Linear

We are using the wodSFTP.NET 3.3.7 in a C# application.

We need to find a way to identify whether a file exist in a particular directory on the remoting server. We searched the question history regarding this question and noticed that there is not a simple function returning a true/false value for it. The workaround could be using the SFTP.RealPath( MyFilePathHere ) or SFTP.ListDir( MyFileDirectoryHere ) and rely on the events to get the result.

We would like to know, which is the better way? Sample code would be appreciated.

By the way, we are using the SFTP in the block mode.

Thanks.

Hi Roger,

Since you're using Blocking mode, I would suggest using RealPath method in a try...catch block.

This way the component will return an error if file doesn't exist.

Can you try that?

The wodCrypt product is great and we appreciate your effort to add support for UNIX Crypt.

May I say how nice it is to work with components so complete and self-explanatory that using them in my application is as instinctive as though I wrote them myself?
