Can you make sure the file is greater than 0kB in the moment of the transfer?

Could you please help to check whether the file is opened or not in remote server.
If there is a remote chance that your destination file is "open for write" when you are transferring, you should step back and reconsider your strategy. The results of neither the file transfer nor the remote file creation will be predictable with processes competing. Even reading a file when the transfer starts will not yield reliable results.
