check for file in another server
Hi,
I want to check for existence of a file in another server. Is it possible to use if loop and check for the file existence after connecting via ftp.
After connecting via ftp in the script if I use if command it is throwing an error saying invalid command.if command is also not there in the list of commands that can be used in ftp. Is there any way i can achieve this.

bup-ftp
bup-ftp(1) General Commands Manual bup-ftp(1)
NAME
bup-ftp - ftp-like client for navigating bup repositories
SYNOPSIS
bup ftp
DESCRIPTION
bup ftp is a command-line tool for navigating bup repositories. It has commands similar to the Unix ftp(1) command. The file hierarchy is
the same as that shown by bup-fuse(1) and bup-ls(1).
Note: if your system has the python-readline library installed, you can use the <tab> key to complete filenames while navigating your
backup data. This will save you a lot of typing.
COMMANDS
The following commands are available inside bup ftp:
ls [-s] [-a] [path]
print the contents of a directory. If no path argument is given, the current directory's contents are listed. If -a is given, also
include hidden files (files which start with a . character). If -s is given, each file is displayed with its hash from the bup ar-
chive to its left.
cd dirname
change to a different working directory
pwd print the path of the current working directory
cat filenames...
print the contents of one or more files to stdout
get filename localname
download the contents of filename and save it to disk as localname. If localname is omitted, uses filename as the local name.
mget filenames...
download the contents of the given filenames and stores them to disk under the same names. The filenames may contain Unix filename
globs (*, ?, etc.)
help print a list of available commands
quit exit the bup ftp client
EXAMPLE
$ bup ftp
bup> ls
mybackup/ yourbackup/
bup> cd mybackup/
bup> ls
2010-02-05-185507@ 2010-02-05-185508@ latest@
bup> cd latest/
bup> ls
(...etc...)
bup> get myfile
Saving 'myfile'
bup> quit
