Well, like you said, it's not in the cherry_zen download, so, no, it's not a bonafide cherry zen file. There is a flat.php originally in zen cart, under /includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/

My guess is, someone probably changed flat.php, moved it to the cherry_zen folder (which is perfect use of the override system), but as I see from your post, you're having problems with CuteFTP messing up your files, so now that corrupted or improperly formatted file has messed up your checkout process. Is the original flat.php in includes/languages/english/modules/shipping? If so, you can delete the cherry_zen one.

But it was not "created" by zen cart or cherry_zen.
