in reply to How to check If file exists?

The -e operation works on filenames, not URLs. Give it the filename that will be served by that URL instead.

    Thanks for all of the replies, Yes, I have tried single quotes, double quotes, no quotes, not "dots", and they all don't work.

    I'm not sure what you mean? How would it know where to look for the file?

    This sounds like it might works, but I am unlear how do do this.
    Thanks!

      Thanks All! I got it to work with your help. Turns out I needed to take off the ticks, which I had tried before, then I used just the path name like you suggested and not the URL. I was getting the two mixed up. Thanks for pointing that out!!
