Session.FileExists Method

Checks for existence of remote file.

This feature is available only in the latest beta release.

With WinSCP 5.0.7 beta the method always fails with InvalidOperationException with message “Recursive calls not allowed”. As a workaround, use following extension method or equivalent:

public static bool FileExistsFix(this Session session, string path)
{
    try
    {
        session.GetFileInfo(path);
        return true;
    }
    catch (SessionRemoteException)
    {
        return false;
    }
}
