FtpClient.DirectoryExists Method

System.Net.FtpClient

previous page next page

Tests if the specified directory exists on the server. This method works by trying to change the working directory to the path specified. If it succeeds, the directory is changed back to the old working directory and true is returned. False is returned otherwise and since the CWD failed it is assumed the working directory is still the same.
