Next, look for the File and Folder filters section and click on the Configure button. Select the File Size filter and set it to Exclude file size equal to 0 KB. Click the OK button to save your settings.



To automate the transfer process, add a schedule. Go to the Schedule Transfers section and click on the Configure button. Choose the schedule type and start date-time as needed. Move to the next page, enter the profile name and click on Create button.

Now, whenever the schedule will run the files will be downloaded except the 0 KB files.
