script for checking if file exists is not working

hello-
so the situation is to check that a file exists first, if it does then continue on to the next steps of the ssis package. if the file does not exist then exit and stop. i used the script from https://winscp.net/eng/docs/script_checking_file_existence#scripting and when i run it i get an error message... 
Script: set REMOTE_PATH=/Home/blahblahblah/CustomContractImport/Import/Importcontract.xlsx

Script: Unknown command 'set'.

Script: Failed

is this set command not right? is there something that was not in the original script that was not correct? this seems like a simple script even for a noob like me but apparently it is not. :( can someone help me?
the scriopt is... 
# Automatically abort script on errors

option batch abort

# Disable overwrite confirmations that conflict with the previous

option confirm off

# Connect to SFTP server using a password

open sftp://blipblahbloop:EQFz7I:igL13@transfer.filecheck.com/ -hostkey="ssh-rsa 2048 fc:0f:92:5d:98:d4:77:65:2a:eb:a2:fa:0d:27:0a:7f"

# Upload file



echo off

 

set REMOTE_PATH=/Home/blahblahblah/CustomContractImport/Import/Importcontract.xlsx

winscp.com /command ^

    "open mysession" ^

    "stat %REMOTE_PATH%" ^

    "exit"

 

if %ERRORLEVEL% neq 0 goto error

 

echo File %REMOTE_PATH% exists



exit /b 0

 

:error

echo Error or file %REMOTE_PATH% not exists

exit /b 1





# Disconnect

Re: Check if file exists before download

i use get command to download a file from a server...But everytime the file doesn't exists i get an error message. So i want to firstly check if the file exists and then use get command to download it!

Re: Check if file exists before download

OK, I've misunderstood the question.

Though it's still confusing. Why are you trying to check a local file before calling WinSCP with upload.txt script, if you are going to download a file?

Re: Check if file exists before download

I don't want to use .NET assembly. I have mentioned that in question! I want to use a simple bat file.
