It's possible that curl is at least part of the problem. A couple of suggestions: What if the server file is not empty when the empty file is uploaded? Or was it that way? Try curl with the --verbose option set. Try curl using ftp: curl --verbose -T empty -u zotero:secret ftp://abc.de/var/zotero/empty Try using scp if it's supported and you want to spend time setting up required $HOME/.ssh files. With ssh you could actually "touch" the empty file. It's just possible that some software is being more helpful than you like. The curl mailing list is quite active and helpful. I don't know if curl uses your Apache server to accomplish an HTTP upload.
