Answer : in vbscript - How can I check if a file exists in a remote server that requires a username and password to log in?

try this.

There are two scripts. Save both of them on the same folder, with the specified names

The script will use the windows runas command to execute the second script with different credentials. Remove the /savecred if you don't want the password to be saved by runas.

On the first script, instantiate the srtUser and srtDomain vaiables with the info of the user that has access to the server/folder.

On the second script instantiate the strFilePath with the path for the file you want to check that exists.
