Any reason why this has to be in VBS? The command line interpreter I use
(4NT) incorporates FTP in a rather transparent manner. In your case, the
command would look like:
IF EXIST "ftp://server/dir/fu.bar"; ECHO fu.bar exists.
This feature is documented at <http://jpsoft.com/help/ftpservers.htm>.
4NT is a commercial product.
FYI: I use something similar every day where a scheduled batch file
checks whether the required number of files are present on a FTP server;
it even checks their content with 4NT's equivalent of FIND.EXE (FFIND)
for correct information before downloading, which of course is just a
simple COPY command:
COPY "ftp://server/dir/fu.bar"; d:\dir\
