For what platform and in what language?

…to moitor when the file does not exist on the server(system i) that is doing the ftp.

Is the System i acting as the client or the server? Do you you want to know if the file doesn’t exist before the FTP? Or if it doesn’t get created by the FTP? Do you want to know if it doesn’t exist on the client, i.e., it can’t be FTPed because it doesn’t exist?
