-----Original Message-----
I am using ftp through Curl on a CentOS-5.6 based client to check
for the existence of a particular file on a remote host immediately
following an attempted transfer of that file via Curl within the
same script. The remote host is not a *nix box and its ftp server
is both idiosyncratic and quite old.

<stuff deleted>

The problem that I want solved is simply to confirm via ftp that the
file name exists on the target host. So, if this is accomplished in
some other way with curl I would appreciate being informed as to how
that is done.

----End Message----

A suggestion for a slightly different approach - use the --list-only option and grep through the listing output for the file you're interested in.

curl --disable-epsv \
    --silent \
    --list-only \
   ftp://user.account@host.harte-lyne.ca/ \
| grep CCBROKMT
