: Hello There,
: Is there a way to check if a specified file on a specified server exist. If anyone knows a way to check this, please send me a email.
: Thanks

Using Client Side JavaScript - then unless its all done on the same server then no - if they are on the same server then you could try out the trick used in the article "Intelligent Password Verification #2" at http://www.irt.org/articles/js075/index.htm
Other than that your problem will require a server side solution - possibly a cgi script that attempts to go get the document you want and if it can't return something different to the browser - needs someone else to answer this in detail.
