tcl remote file directory exist

[0937504390]

I'v made a script for remote file backup
I need to check if directory ($TMPDIR) exists..
How can I check it in script?


My script

#!/usr/bin/expect -f
set timeout 100
set PASS ""
set USER "root"
set IPSERV ""
set BackupDirectories "/home/test1 /home/test2"
set TMPDIR "/home/backup5"

spawn ssh $USER@$IPSERV
expect "assword:"
send "$PASS\r"
expect "#"

# Now I need to check if remote directory $TMPDIR is exists !!!!!!!

send "tar -zcvf $TMPDIR/backup.tar.gz $BackupDirectories\r"
expect "#"

send "exit;\r"
expect eof

Would:

if [file exists $TMPDIR] {...}

not work for you (maybe not since I don't know much about EXPECT)?

No.
I have tried this, but this method checks directory existance on local server, but not on remote one.
I think - checking must be via "expect", or other way..
