It should be fine, but will depend on the ftp client you are using, some could potentially skip zero length.
Some questions for you to consider:
When you are manually doing the transfer, are you doing the *exact same thing* as your script would do? If you are using a different command or different parameters, then focus your attention there.
Does the script do any checks that your manual process does not? If you are doing a checksum, you might have some bug in the script that fails to handle zero-length properly, or your script may be explicitly deleting zero length files considering them to be failed transfers.
But as PiK45 says, you'll need to list the command/script you are using to get any specific help here I suspect.

IPESCRIPT(1) General Commands Manual IPESCRIPT(1)
NAME
ipescript - Run an Ipe script (written in Lua)
SYNOPSIS
ipescript script { arguments }
DESCRIPTION
ipescript runs an Ipe script written in Lua. The Ipe bindings are automatically available in the script. Ipescript looks for the script
in any of the script directories.
The script argument should not contain the .lua extension.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
ipescript respects the following environment variables:
IPELATEXDIR
the directory where ipetoipe runs Pdflatex.
IPESCRIPTS a list of directories where Ipescript will look for
scripts. When this variable is not set, Ipe searches first the current directory, then ~/.ipe/scripts, and finally the system-wide
Ipe script directory. When this variable is set, it should contain a list of directories, separated by semicolons. A single under-
score is replaced by the system-wide Ipe script directory.
IPEDEBUG
set this to 1 for debugging output from ipescript.
