hello all.
i'm a photographer and i have to upload folders of pictures to my server all the time.
the issue i am having is that there is always this stupid .dstore file that gets uploaded with the folder. how can i stop my mbpro from creating this file?
I'm running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2
thanks for the help

The .ds_store allows sharing across Macs extra metadata information. What you might want to do is see if the server can be set for FTP transfers. Then send the photos over binary to the server.

You can't. .DS_Store is a temporary file that OS X creates when you modify a folder, so it's not possible to delete them. If you delete them, they'll be created again next time you visit that folder
The problem becomes more obvious when using a non-FTP protocol to move across platforms. The .ds_store file frequently gets visible on non Mac OS X platforms, as they don't know what to do with them.
