Hello,

I have installed Macfuse and Ntfs-3G so I can copy files to NTFS hard drives.

However this always leaves behind the files name ._(Whatever the file you just transfered is called) is there a way to stop this happening as after a while this could clog up the drive if not monitored.

ANy ideas on this would be great.

No way to stop it but unless you have a reason to keep a copy of the file on your internal drive that you just copied to the external NTFS drive, erase the left behind names.

Regards.
