Overview

Workaround

It is possible to use the Remote File Information Action to check if a file exists—use the Advanced Fallback Options to ignore the error code 2 or to Continue with the Next Action. Then using the If Action and Variable Wizard it is possible to conclude if a file or directory exists by comparing the variable Permissions first character (d or -).

Notes

If Remote File Information fails with Lost connection. Disconnected from server error message, check stateful FTP firewall settings for a simple solution.
