Size 0 files failed

[Jean]

In many distribution there are some file with a size at 0 (typically some index.html).
With filezilla this files are not created on the destination directory and appear on the failed list.
We then have to recreate manualy each of them...

Thanks to handle the creation of these file on the destination directory.

Here under Filezilla info :

Can you please provide logs?

Can you download zero byte files from other FTP servers using FileZilla? Can you download these zero byte files from the same server using another FTP client (like the Windows command line client)?

Transfer connection interrupted: ECONNABORTED - Connection aborted

That error is unusual. Do you use any firewall or some other "network manipulator"?

One more thing to try:

Navigate to the desired remote directory and right click in the list. There, select "Create new file". Can this new end empty file be created?

Can you name a public FTP server where I can try this - an FTP server which allows anonymous access and has an empty file to download?

Just because if it does not happen on all servers for you, it likely is a server issue rather than a FileZilla one.

Hi you can use my sandbox :
url : ftpperso.free.fr
user : jbtemp
pswd : sun001

There is an empty file I cannot download

[Alexander Schuch]

The connection details you provided do not work (anymore). Looks like the user is not allowed, as the server does not even ask for a password but disconnects before already.
