    I can not create a shared link to this file, ab.rar.

     

    This is an empty RAR file, created by WinRAR.

     

    Type `od -x ab.rar`

    Output:

    0000000 6152 2172 071a cf00 7390 0000 000d 0000

      I'm afraid I can't help with potentially incorrectly flagged files, so if you believe you have files that have been incorrectly flagged, please contact support.
