Have you looked at class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES. It has methods for everything you say you want to do: DIRECTORY_EXIST, DIRECTORY_CREATE, DOWNLOAD, etc.

**********************

You could use this FM CH_CHECK_PATH

Use this function module below to check path and drive

PC_CHECK_PATH_WITH_DRIVE

Hi,

Thaks for your reply.

But this solution works only for local system.

I want to check the existance of the path ( directory/file ) in application server.
