0 byte Minecraft file is not a folder - work around

[mqueck]

Hello,

Just wanted to throw this out there in case it helps someone else.

I was trying to upload some server files (files, not folders) and one of them was 0 bytes. As a result, Pterodactyl decided it was a folder and gave me an error about folder uploads not being supported at this time. It drove me bonkers trying to fix it because I had found this:

#5459

It said it had been fixed but I struggled with it still. As it turns out the one comment/note on there led me to a work around - I zipped the file, uploaded the zip, and then unzipped it. To my surprise it worked!

My 2 cents...

FWIW - the file was one of the .mca files for Minecraft
