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.

source
source(n) Tcl Built-In Commands source(n)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
source - Evaluate a file or resource as a Tcl script
SYNOPSIS
source fileName
source -rsrc resourceName ?fileName?
source -rsrcid resourceId ?fileName?
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This command takes the contents of the specified file or resource and passes it to the Tcl interpreter as a text script. The return value
from source is the return value of the last command executed in the script. If an error occurs in evaluating the contents of the script
then the source command will return that error. If a return command is invoked from within the script then the remainder of the file will
be skipped and the source command will return normally with the result from the return command.
The end-of-file character for files is '32' (^Z) for all platforms. The source command will read files up to this character. This |
restriction does not exist for the read or gets commands, allowing for files containing code and data segments (scripted documents). If |
you require a ``^Z'' in code for string comparison, you can use `` 32'' or ``u001a'', which will be safely substituted by the Tcl inter- |
preter into ``^Z''.
The -rsrc and -rsrcid forms of this command are only available on Macintosh computers. These versions of the command allow you to source a
script from a TEXT resource. You may specify what TEXT resource to source by either name or id. By default Tcl searches all open resource
files, which include the current application and any loaded C extensions. Alternatively, you may specify the fileName where the TEXT
resource can be found.
