How to Stop Finder WEBDAVFS from requesting .hidden, ._Directory , ._FileName files after Remotes File System Mount has happened?

Hi,

After I have mounted remote directory on Finder , Finder requests for all file types including .hidden, ._Directory , ._FileName files and all such files which is creating havoc to the performance of the Finder.

Case 1 : In one Directory I have 500 files+directories. When the Finder tries to fetch the directory content it is sending requests for even .hidden, ._Directory , ._FileName files and so the request count grows exponentially causing breakdown for Finder. Its taking 10 mins to load the directory. The same directory request when posted by Transmit by Panic it loads within 30 secs. Transmit do not send request for ._* files/directory.

I am rejecting request for all hidden file request but they keep on coming in thousands.

Case 2 : Finder tries to refresh the file listing whenever the Finder window is brought to Focus.

Any help is appreciated. When I try to use find for such files to delete I see no listing!

Used : ls -1aR /Volumes/InquiraWebDAV
