Checking if a download file exists

[OwenB]

Hi All

We have had a lot of trouble with various web hosts and so have been migrating our data to one that works well.

The problem I forsee is that if we get the data named incorrectly then it will show as unavailable to our end users. I would like to be able to go through the products table and display (print) anything that does not appear on the new server's download folder. For instance if we named a download file as BOOK_AB.epub but the original file on the old server was BOOK_AB.zip then that is what would be recorded in the table.

We have already overcome finding data by modifying the products display script by checking does the download field say zip - yes - then on old server and we get an email saying it needs to be migrated. If not then it displays the download link to the new server - nothing to be done.

Is there an addon or a simple script that can go through the database - take the download link and see if it exists on the new server?

Thanks in advance

There's something similar for images, I can recall what it's name is, but it seems like changing the field/table information and associated filepath would support obtaining the same/necessary information. Not sure if it is a missing images plugin or extra images or something like that.

Just go to Admin > Catalog > Downloads Manager. Files that have a green icon are ok; files that have a red icon are missing.

Ah right. So that will still point to the original server so I guess I need to modify that script to take the book name - add in .epub and .mobi pointing to the new server.

Will give that a try

Thanks

Since you are already moving things, you may wish to consider moving your download folder out of public_html (for security):
