Ok, something like Can't upload empty files would probably be a bit better.

Well, yes. Maybe there is a reason out there where an empty file is needed by someone. So the best solution would be to allow zero length files.

Well, most of the time uploading an empty file would be done by mistake. If an empty file is really needed as a placeholder or such (?) one can take the extra pain to create a file with a linefeed inside.
