Check if share exists on remote server

[brosy]

I'm just new to autoit so this may be a dumb question but how do i check if a share exists on a remote computer.

for example 1 want to do the following:

1. ping server to verify it exists

2. check share exists on server

3. check folder is present in share on server, if not create it.

4. check if files exist in folder, if not (or if old) then copy the files to folder.

5. execute an application

i wanted to put this into a nice gui with smooth progress bar but got stuck with the share check.

any help would be great.

Did you try the following?

$RemDir = "\\MyServer\MyShare\MyDir\"
If FileExists($RemDir) Then
     MsgBox(64, "Remote", "Remote directory present at: " & $RemDir)
Else
     MsgBox(64, "Remote", "Remote directory NOT present at: " & $RemDir)
EndIf

I can't test it right now, but I think FileExists() supports UNC paths.
