Even a 0KB file may take at least a page of disk - 4KB - take an option 8 on one of these in the IFS and page down once to see size on disk.

We have a warehouse application hosted on a "wintel" server that sends
files by FTP to our iSeries IFS.

We see a pattern where we will receive hundreds of files on our IFS which
have no data. In System i Navigator, the size appears as: 0KB

When opened using DSPF the "green screen" shows no data.

We have not yet determined if this is a problem with our network, the
warehouse application, or something about FTP on the "wintel" server.

The problem is periodic, meaning we will get bunches of these files at
about the same time of day for a number of days, then "things return
to normal" (no empty files).

My current SWAG is the cause is somewhere in our network configuration.
