Is there a way to check existence file on sftp

Hello,

Is there a way to check existence file on sftp?

Thanks in advance.

Something like:

if echo "ls filename" | sftp hostname 2>&1 | grep "No such file"
then
    echo "filename does not exist on hostname"
    exit 1
else
    echo "filename does exist on hostname"
fi

Something like this if you're running Korn shell on both sides...

if [[ "YES" == $(ssh user@hostname "[[ -f filename ]] && print YES") ]]
then
    print "filename exists on hostname"
else
    print "filename DOES NOT exist on hostname"
    exit 1
fi
