Check if remote folder exists

Hi,

When trying to chk if a folder exists on remote server using the below command (got it from other thread in this forum)
Code:
"if[-n `ssh vchr@s1.mrix.local '/cygdrive/d/shares/projects\ data\ load/test\ files/$SCPED_FILES$name$code'`]; 
then
     echo "Directory exists";
else
     echo "Directory not available";
fi"

I get error " syntax error: `then' unexpected". Please help....

Thanks

NAME
rpload - alpine remote data utility SYNTAX
rpload [ -f ] [ -s trimSize ] -t Type -l Local_file -r Remote_folder DESCRIPTION
Rpload may be used to convert local Alpine configuration files or address books into remote configurations or address books. It is intended to be used by system administrators. Regular users should normally use the facilities provided within Alpine. Local_file will usually be a user's alpine configuration file, and Remote_folder is the IMAP folder which will be used (with the help of Alpine's -p, -P, and -x commands or PINECONF, PINERC, and PINERCEX environment variables) as the user's remote configuration folder. A copy of Local_file will be placed in the folder with the correct header lines to satisfy Alpine. -f Force the load even if the remote folder is in the wrong format. This will delete the contents of the folder so use it carefully. -s trimSize If the number of messages in the remote folder is more than one plus trimsize (one is for the header message), then messages 2, 3, and so on will be deleted until there are only one plus trimsize messages left. If this option is not set no trimming will be done. -t Type The possible Types are pinerc, abook, and sig. (Sig is mostly obsolete. Literal signatures contained within the remote pinerc should be used instead.) -l Local_file The file on this system that is to be copied. -r Remote_folder A remote folder name to be copied to. See the Alpine documentation for the syntax of a remote folder name. One exam- ple is {my.imap.server}remote_pinerc. DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is zero if all goes well, -1 otherwise. SEE ALSO
