When I call File.Exists it always return true, even if the file doesn't exists. The version of Rebex ftp I've purchased is 4.0.5298.0; runtime version is v2.0.50727. Here is the code:

        Rebex.Net.Ftp f = new Rebex.Net.Ftp();
        f.LogWriter = new Rebex.FileLogWriter(@"log.txt", Rebex.LogLevel.Debug);
        f.Connect("192.168.138.154");
        f.Login("simotion", "simotion");

        if (f.FileExists("b:\\USER\\SIMOTION\\USER_DIR\\UPP\\UNITDS\\Var_Recipe\\ds000000.dat"))
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Exists");
        }
        else
            Console.WriteLine("Not Exists");

        f.Disconnect();

        Console.WriteLine("done");
        Console.ReadLine();

And here is the log:

Sorry for not replying earlier - we were having some issues with the forum (spambot overload) and missed your question. Next time, if we don't reply within a day or two, please let us know at support@rebex.net!

This said, it looks like you discovered a bug. The behavior you describe indeed occurs with FTP servers that behave like yours and it is obviously incorrect. We will fix it and provide a hotfix. Sorry for inconvenience!

The fix is now part of release 2015 R1 of Rebex FTP/SSL.



Once again, thank you for reporting this. It really was a bug in our Ftp.FileExists method. The promised hotfix is available to download (free trial).


For other customers experiencing the same issue - full hotfix version is available to registered customers with active support contract, just let us know you order ID/ registered email address to support@rebex.net and we'll send it to you. The fix will be part of version 2015R1.
