    Just hope someone has any idea's on this. We have a script which
    transfers files from a VMS system to Tru64 V5.1A every minute.

    Files cannot be empty and smallest valid size is 73 bytes.

    This mechanism generally works correctly, however about once or twice
    a week we see an empty file on the Tru64 side, however checking the
    file which was sent from VMS it was not empty.

    I have searched for any known Tru64 ftp issues which might give this
    behaviour, but can't find anything on this.

    If there was a network or connectivity problem I would expect no file,
    not an empty file.

    I am trying to get a log file from the vms script when it ftp'd the
    file which ended up empty so I can check if ftp logs n bytes sent (we
    only keep logs for a few hours due to size, so this is hard to catch),
    but if anyone has any other idea's on how this could be happening, I
    would be grateful.

    James.
