TITLE   :Replicated File May Show a Size of Zero Bytes
PRODUCT :Windows NT

The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

In the replication import directory, if you use the MS-DOS Directory
(DIR) command or view the directory with File Manager, you may see a
file in the directory that has a recent time stamp and a file size of
zero bytes. On the export server, this file will have a different time
stamp and file size.
 
This occurs because during the replication of a file, the import
server resets the file length to zero, and the time stamp changes at
that time. When the replication is completed, the time stamp and file
size information are reset to the properties of the original file on
the export server.
