How do you check to see if a file does not exist in SQL Server Integration Services 2005?

Is there a native SSIS component which will just do this for you?

    I have checked for file existence this using the Script Task and then branch accordingly.

    You can do something like

    If System.IO.File.Exists("\\Server\Share\Folder\File.Ext") Then
    Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
Else
    Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Failure
End If

    Although there are no native components for this, there are several third party components for SSIS that you can use for this purpose.

    The File System Task in SSIS is basically for move, copy, delete, etc., but does not support file existence checks.
