I see files throughout my folders like this .pureftpd-upload.4b5ae481.15.2da1.f0715808.  What are these?  Can any malicious script be inserted in them?

I wouldn't worry about them. This comes up as a result in a number of reports indicating that the files are temporary, sometimes zero-byte, often the result of failed or partial uploads/transfers, and will delete themselves over time.
