If the file is one you have a path to then use the path instead. If it is truly something accessed via a URL only, then maybe use a <cfhttp> to try and get it, within a <cftry>/<cfcatch> block of course, to determine if the URL is valid or not. If you create a UDF that does that all (kind of a URLExists() function) then you can definitely use that in any <cfif> statement.
