Scripting: Check existence of file on remote system

I'm writing a Korn Shell script and want to check whether a specific file
exists on a remote server. i.e. rsh remote_server some-command

Is there a neater way of doing this than ls and grep? (I don't want to have
a script running on the remote server.)
