My suggestion to create a dummy file was to check the other parts of the process, not just the secure connection so that you can be sure you are getting to the right path and that the id you connect with can actually read a file with the same permissions. Without that, you are not really testing it properly.

It doesn't have to be a large file if you are worried about the network traffic and time.

Can I presume that you are building up a remote path/filename in your script? If so, are you sure you can get to it? That is the point of testing with a dummy file.
