Accepted Answer

You can use `path.exists()` but it's deprecated in the latest version of node. The preferred api is `fs.exists()` these days, so you'll need to be prepared to switch at some point.

```
$ node --version
v0.8.3

$ node
> require('fs').exists
[Function]
> require('path').exists
[Function: deprecated]
```
