Cyberduck Version 2.8b1 (3178) does not upload a file that is empty and has size 0KB. This is a problem, because there are files that need to be 0KB and actually empty, at least in the Windows universe. This was working correctly in earlier versions of Cyberduck, but does not appear to be working now.
I tried several times to upload a file named "Print9x.cat" to a folder on a remote FTP server, and all that happened was Cyberduck displayed the usual stuff it does when doing a transfer, reported "0 bytes transferred", and then that was all that happened--except that the file was NOT actually uploaded to the remote FTP server.
I think this is a major problem, because it arbitrarily tosses data, which is not good. Even though the size of the file is 0KB and the file is empty, (a) it is a file and (b) it has file properties (two of which are that it is empty and has a size of 0KB).
If there is an empty file with size 0KB on the remote FTP server, Cyberduck correctly will download it to the Mac OS 10.4.10 desktop, but it will NOT upload it.
One might suppose that in the Apple universe, folks have sufficient sense not to use empty files for special purposes (perhaps as semaphores), but in the Windows universe there are a lot of empty files, most of which are placeholders that are waiting for Steve Jobs, Jonathan Ive, and company to have new ideas, which the fabulous folks in Redmond can "borrow" and then use to fill the empty Windows files . . .
This is a really subtle but gnarly bug in Cyberduck . . .
Thanks!
