Accessing the FileSystem

Is there a way to access the File System via T-SQL. There is a field in a
table of mine. In this table there is a filename to a file on my server. I
want to make sure that the filename actually points to a file on the server.
In other words I want to make sure the file exists!
Thanks in advancetry this
