You want to check the existence of file on the server. This is not possible using File.Exist method as it doesn't supports the URI. This method expect the relative path and checked the existence on machine (physical location).

In this case you should use WebRequest and get the response from the server. If server returns 404 then your file doesn't exist on the serve or you can check the Content Length.

WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(new Uri(temppath));
request.Method = "HEAD";

WebResponse response = request.GetResponse()

var contentLength = response.ContentLength;

if (contentLength < 0)
{
    // file doesn't exist.
}
