Oh crap! Many zero sized files after copying from remote server, over vpn, through virtual machine to my iMac :( Command line + ruby to the rescue!

_shell_command.sh

find . -type f -size 0 > bad_files.txt

copy_busted_files.rb

# Read files in as a big string....
BASE_PATH = File.dirname(__FILE__)
NEW_PLACE = File.join(BASE_PATH,'..', "forVideo")
`mkdir -p "#{NEW_PLACE}"`

# puts files.split.inspect;
files = files.split("\n").map{|f| f.chomp}
files.each do |f|
  if(f.length > 0)
    globby = "#{BASE_PATH}/**/#{f}"
    puts globby
    results = Dir.glob(globby)
    results.each do |this_file|
      `cp -a "#{this_file}" "#{File.join(NEW_PLACE,File.basename(this_file))}"`
    end
    puts result.inspect
    exit
  end
end
