you must use the component tFileExist with two outputs IF:

 ((Boolean) globalMap.get ("tFileExist_1_EXISTS")) for the case 1(File existence)
 ! ((Boolean) globalMap.get ("tFileExist_1_EXISTS")) for case 2 (non-existence of file)

In order to verify that a file exists, you can use the tFileExist component and connect to your conditional treatment with a Run If link.
For parameterization details and usage examples, you can consult the Talend documentation, available in your installation. In the Talend menubar, select Help > Help contents and then Talend User Documentation > Integration components > tFileExists.

Design job like below

tFileExist----If(Exist)-------Use other Components 
        \
         \
          If(Not Exist) add other flow

Add below code in first IF condition ((Boolean) globalMap.get ("tFileExist_1_EXISTS")) and in second IF condition will be !((Boolean) globalMap.get ("tFileExist_1_EXISTS")) .
