[2005] Verifying remote folder exists

I use this function to check whether a remote file or website exists...

VB Code:

Public Function CheckURLExists(ByVal site As String) As Boolean
        Dim Success As Boolean 
        Dim objUrl As New System.Uri(site)
        Dim objWebReq As System.Net.WebRequest
        Dim objResp As System.Net.WebResponse
        objWebReq = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(objUrl)
        Try
            objResp = objWebReq.GetResponse
            objResp.Close()
            Success = True
        Catch ex As Exception
            Success = False
        End Try
        objWebReq = Nothing
        Return Success
    End Function

But this does will not work when checking whether a remote folder exists (it produces a 'forbidden' error with no exception thrown). Does anyone have a function/sub for this?

p.s. I have been searching MSDN for info but cant find anything.

Please don't create duplicate threads.

This isnt the same issue.

This thread concerns a method to verify the presence of a remote folder (I showed the code I currently use to test for the presence of sites and files).

My apologies. I should read more carefully.
