How do you check connection to a file server

[Niel Craig]

I am using a file server to store test information. I can load this info onto a remote client but as an enhancement I'd like to check that the connection to the server is ok. I have used the error message generated after a call to the volume info vi but I was wondering if there are any more elegant ways of doing this.

Thanks,

Niel.

I would suggest calling the file/dir info function on a file/dir that normally exists on the server. If the function does not error (check the error status) then the network and server are probably Ok.
