fileExists() Netscript Function
===============================
.. js:function:: fileExists(filename, [hostname/ip])
:param string filename: Filename of file to check
:param string hostname/ip:
Hostname or IP of target server. This is optional. If it is not specified then the
function will use the current server as the target server
:RAM cost: 0.1 GB
Returns a boolean indicating whether the specified file exists on the target server. The filename
for scripts is case-sensitive, but for other types of files it is not. For example, *fileExists("brutessh.exe")*
will work fine, even though the actual program is named "BruteSSH.exe".
If the *hostname/ip* argument is omitted, then the function will search through the current server (the server
running the script that calls this function) for the file.
Examples::
fileExists("foo.script", "foodnstuff");
fileExists("ftpcrack.exe");
The first example above will return true if the script named *foo.script* exists on the *foodnstuff* server, and false otherwise.
The second example above will return true if the current server contains the *FTPCrack.exe* program, and false otherwise.
