dot underscore files on OS X through WebDav

sud0n1m

Hi,

I am connecting to Alfresco on OS X using WebDAV. For every file I upload, there is another file identical, but with dot underscore in front that shows up in the http interface for Alfresco. For example. I upload Filename.ext. In WebDAV, I only see Filename.ext, but now in Alfresco's web interface, I have : ._Filename.ext and Filename.ext. In addition, there is a .DS_Store file.

Is there a way to automatically eliminate these files? or at least prevent them from being displayed?

Thanks!

If you were to issue this command on the terminal of every Mac connecting in, that would fix it. I would prefer to enforce it on the server though. Is there a way to do that?

I'd like to be able configure Alfresco to block files, such as .DS_Store as well as temp files generated by editors (~), from being added via WebDAV

Has there been any solution yet for this?

I see the same thing happening on CIFS connection too.

I have created a script that scans through the repo. over cifs and remove ._ and .DS files form the repo. Works rather good.. except i am having major problem with cifs after upgrading from 2.1 to 3.0

#!/bin/sh
# This script walks through the alfresco directory and delte all meta-files created by
# OS X, cifs/smb/webdav clients
#
# Created by Egil Hasting @ frontbase no

ALFRESCO_MOUNT="/mnt/alfresco.files"

TIME_NOW=`date '+%y%d%m_%H%M%S'`
FILE_NAME="Deleted_AlfrescoFiles_$TIME_NOW.txt"

# echo "Finding OS X meta-files and log the file names to $FILE_NAME…"

#example
#/usr/bin/find . -not -mtime -168 -delete

mount $ALFRESCO_MOUNT

/usr/bin/find $ALFRESCO_MOUNT -name "._*.*" -or -name ".DS*" > /tmp/$FILE_NAME
echo "— End of log —" >> /tmp/$FILE_NAME
# echo "Delete files…"
/usr/bin/find $ALFRESCO_MOUNT -name "._*.*" -delete
/usr/bin/find $ALFRESCO_MOUNT -name ".DS*" -delete

cp /tmp/$FILE_NAME $ALFRESCO_MOUNT/Logs
rm /tmp/$FILE_NAME

umount $ALFRESCO_MOUNT
