Demonstrates how to check to see if a file exists. AutoIt

Local $bSuccess = False

;  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
;  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$oSftp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.SFtp")

;  Connect to the SSH server.  
Local $sHostname = "sftp.example.com"
Local $iPort = 22
$bSuccess = $oSftp.Connect($sHostname,$iPort)
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oSftp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

;  Authenticate with the SSH server.  Chilkat SFTP supports
;  both password-based authenication as well as public-key
;  authentication.  This example uses password authenication.
$bSuccess = $oSftp.AuthenticatePw("myLogin","myPassword")
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oSftp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

;  After authenticating, the SFTP subsystem must be initialized:
$bSuccess = $oSftp.InitializeSftp()
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oSftp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

;  Check to see if a file exists

;  The return value is one of the following values:
;  -1: Unable to check. Examine the LastErrorText to determine the reason for failure.
;  0: File does not exist.
;  1: The regular file exists.
;  2: It exists, but it is a directory.
;  3: It exists, but it is a symlink (only possible if followLinks is false)
;  4: It exists, but it is a special filesystem entry type.
;  5: It exists, but it is an unkown filesystem entry type.
;  6: It exists, but it is an socket filesystem entry type.
;  7: It exists, but it is an char device entry type.
;  8: It exists, but it is an block device entry type.
;  9: It exists, but it is an FIFO entry type.
