About this Zero-byte .CMD file

What you get

empty.cmd is 0 bytes. 1kb.cmd is 1,024 bytes of filler text. Both use the Windows Command File name.

How to use it in QA

Attach either file where your product asks for a .CMD file. Use the empty file for a zero-length check, and the 1 KB file for a small non-empty upload. The download names stay empty.cmd and 1kb.cmd.
