hi,

I need to check if a file exists.

Code:

if [ -e $file ]

What do you mean by "not case sensitive"? UNIX and GNU/Linux file names are case sensitive.
Please provide more information if you want us to help you.

ok, sorry, I should have tried it first in local.

I want to check if a file exists in a shared folder on a windows computer, mounted as follows:

Code:

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=xxx,password=xxx,uid=jul,gid=jul //192.168.0.92/public /media/shared
