This may be and ASCII vs Binary file transfer.

Check both files with a hexadecimal editor - the first five bytes of any PNG files must be:

0x89 0x50 0x4E 0x0D 0x0A - #PNG [ENTER]

When files are transferred in ASCII mode, Filezilla may convert the 0x0D 0x0A (new line + carriage return in Windows) into a single byte. So make sure the transfer mode is set to Binary:

Settings > Transfers > File Types > Default Transfer Type : Binary.

Even if it's set on Auto, it never hurts to set it to Binary for all file types.
