FTP File Exists

Sorry this may have been asked before, but I can't find it. I need to check a remote ftp service for a particular file.
When I use the "FTP File Loop" task if I put the file name in the "Remote Folder and File Mask" box it doesn't find the file.
But if I put *.msg in the box it finds the file.

Will be in next release in
sFTP and
SSL FTP actions
Now you can check the existence of the file by standard algorithm in the loop.
Look at my example:

You can use SSL FTP actions for plain FTP protocol too.

Hello oleg, thanks for the script, it will be useful to me.
When I use sFTP, I use the ls command to list the contents of the folder and play this content to a variable, so I do an if to confirm if the file I want is in sFTP. Could you add the variable option also for FTP and SSL FTP?
