The system cannot find the file specified

We will occasionally get this error when running a WinSCP script and trying to upload or download a number of files. This is usually caused by a 0 byte file, but is there a way to just skip that file and continue? Currently, when WinSCP encounters that error, the process fails and ends. Here is an excerpt of the log file:
