Read about "set file collision" in the manual, or just type "help set file".
By default, if a file comes in that has the same name as an existing
file, the existing file is renamed to have .~n~ at the end, where n is a
unique (next highest) number.
If you want incoming files to overwrite any existing file of the same
name, use "set file collision overwrite". There are various other options.
It sounds to me like you might have "set file collision rename", which renames
the incoming file rather than the previously existing file. I can't explain
the blank (empty?) file without more information. If you're interested in
pursuing this, send a packet log to kermit-support@columbia.edu.
