Could you wrap the output with <code></code> tags in order to make it understandable?

    Thank you so much for your help salva and Kcott!! I got past my problem. The issue was with rput. even though I had put in the options to not change permissions (copy_perm => 0, copy_time => 0) it did not seem to work, rput tried to update the permissions on the file and thus I got the 0 byte file(this occurs if a file exists on the target server, I am in the same group as the person who created the file on the target server and the target file has been set to chmod 777, but rput wants to change permissions and can't, so it leaves it at a 0 length file). So I switched over the put command with the options copy_perm => 0, copy_time => 0 and that did work!!, the permissions were not changed and it allowed the updating of a file. Thanks
