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 -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
