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.
