in thread -s testing for empty file; works on local, but not on remote
There is one difference:
If you don't check for errors, errors (incl non-existent files) being returned by -s will be mistaken as empty file.
If you don't check for errors, errors (incl non-existent files) being returned by -z will be mistaken as non-empty file.
