How to check via SSH and credentials if file on remote server exists?
Hi there,
I am sorry to ask that kind of beginner thing, but all the code I found online didnt work for me.
All I want to do is: Check via SSH if a File exists on my webserver. The SSH login has to be with username and password.
So I would be very thankful if somebody could write the line.
Example data:
Path of file on remote server: /htdocs/www/my/folder/file.jpg
Thank you very much.

secsh - the Secure Shell protocol
DESCRIPTION
secsh is a protocol suite for secure remote login and other secure network services over an insecure network. It is outlined in [SECSH].
It has three major components:
The Transport layer protocol
This protocol, specified in [SECSH-TLP], provides server authentication, confidentiality, and integrity with perfect forward
secrecy.
The User authentication protocol
This protocol, specified in [SECSH-AUTH], is used to authenticate a client to a server.
The Connection protocol
This protocol, specified in [SECSH-CONN], multiplexes an encrypted tunnel into several logical channels.
IMPLEMENTATIONS
Several implementations of the secsh protocol suite exist.
The SSH2 product of SSH Communications Security Ltd., Finland <URL:http://www.ssh.fi> was the first. The secsh protocol suite has benefited
a lot from their experience with their older SSH1 product, which is still in widespread use; it implements an older protocol ([SSH1]).
The lsh suite of programs is a free implementation of the secsh protocol suite; it is distributed under the GNU General Public License.
