This usually occurs on a FAT-32 formatted drive (e.g. USB stick). After you are done copying the files to the external drive, you need to run a special macOS utility that deletes those dot underscore (._) files, but not the real corresponding filenames on the drive:
dot_clean -m /Volumes/MountedDriveName

The leading dot is a hidden file.
How are you transferring them?
Best to zip them all up in one file & send the .zip file.
