I'm looking on our FTP site now, and you are right that each of these  
files is zero-length.  However, for each one there is also a "- 
txt.gz" file, e.g., "markers22-txt.gz", which is not zero-length.  It  
appears we should remove these empty ".sql" files to avoid the  
confusion.

Are you sure about that?

ncftp ...tabase_dump/text-dumps > pwd
   ftp://ftp.gramene.org/pub/gramene/release22/data/database_dump/ 
text-dumps/
ncftp ...tabase_dump/text-dumps > ls -l zea*
