File exists on server

[tbscope]

I guess one of the easier things to do is use ifconfig or ipconfig and parse the results.

The correct way to do this is to use platform specific functions and this will require you to write some code.

There are only a few things you get for free: the sun going up, death and taxes.
So don't be lazy and start writing a little bit of code.

To add up to what was posted You could either use QProcess with ping and check result or simply:

void MainWindow::someFunction(){
    QTcpSocket *sock = new QTcpSocket( this );
    connect( sock, SIGNAL(hostFound()), this, SLOT( checkFile() ) );
    sock->connectToHost( "192.168.0.2", 421 );
 
}
 
void MainWindow::checkFile()
{
    qDebug() << "File Exists?:" << QFile::exists( "\\192.168.0.2\foo\bar.txt" );
}

void MainWindow::someFunction(){
    QTcpSocket *sock = new QTcpSocket( this );
    connect( sock, SIGNAL(hostFound()), this, SLOT( checkFile() ) );
    sock->connectToHost( "192.168.0.2", 421 );

}

void MainWindow::checkFile()
{
    qDebug() << "File Exists?:" << QFile::exists( "\\192.168.0.2\foo\bar.txt" );
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

or beter use SIGNAL( stateChanged(QAbstractSocket::SocketState) )
Its add a few lines to Your code and is IMHO simple.

Thanks everyone. Using ifconfig or ipconfig doesn't really make sense when I could just use sockets but thank you for the idea.
