FTP File Info

FTP File Info returns metadata about a remote file through an FTP Connection resource, without reading its contents.

Use it to check whether a file exists before reading it, or to test its size or modified time. The exists output is false rather than an error when the file is not there.

Unlike the other FTP activities it has no Advanced tab, so no retry settings.

The activity has three tabs: Configuration, Input, and Output.
