Hi Gene, have you looked at the file command?

if {[file isdirectory foo]} {
  # this is a directory
} else {
  # not a directory
}

From the Tcl manual:
file isdirectory name
    Returns 1 if file name is a directory, 0 otherwise.

Hth, Mike...

	All,

	            Using the FTP that comes with tcllib what is the
best way to check if a remote directory exits? I am thinking I may have
to use Quote to do this but am not sure.
