    I have been sending files up to my server via ftp but something happened and now I have a zero byte file that I can't delete. I have tried changing permissions, etc but nothing works.

    I keep getting errors saying I may not have permissions deleting the file. The file is apparently some sort of file fragment that didn't get uploaded properly. It's named:
    .pureftpd-upload.47312b2b.15.2f16.dcc003af

    What to do?

    if you have access to ssh and u can do it via command line, navigate to the directory where the file is and do

    rm -rf (filename)

    You may need to sudo to root to do this providing you have access

    sudo -s
