hi,

as a follow on from the smb copy problems, i've discovered something
worrying...

from looking in one of the folders i have copied across, theres a matching
amount of hidden files now showing on the pc (so if i copied a directory of
100 files to the pc there are an additional 100 hidden files).

they are named as follows:

file name that was copied: jakes_excel_sheet.xls
additional hidden file: ._jakes_excel_sheet.xls

they range in size from 1kb and seem to be proportional to the original
file.

in addition, there seem to be a whole load of:

.DS_Store

and

._.Trashes

files.

this is worrying - obviously this takes up a whole load of disk space and
i'm guessing the pc doesn't need them?

any clues out there?

cheers,

jake
