    From Ilmarinen@VERT/SPACEBBS to All on Fri Feb 20 16:32:00 2004
    Hi all, just a quick question.....

    I was wondering what the command is to check for the existance of a file via FTP. I searched ftp.src and qnet-ftp.src and couldn't find anything. I found a few Baja FTP commands such as ftp_delete, ftp_get, and others. Even
    better yet, is there a listing somewhere of all the available Baja FTP commands? Thanks in advance :)

    There is a list of the Baja FTP functions in docs/v300_new.txt. The command you would use is either FTP_DIR (to get a directory listing). But to check for a file's existence programatically, it would probably better to query the file's size instead (using the FTP "SIZE" command). Unfortunately, I didn't make a Baja function to this, so you'd have to send the command to the socket manually and parse the response (not too difficult).
