Easier to delete them after the files are copied:

set someFolder to quoted form of (POSIX path of (choose folder) as string)

Do shell script "find -d " & someFolder & " -name \"\\.DS_Store\" -exec rm -f {} \\; ;find -d " & someFolder & " -name \"\\._*\" -exec rm -f {} \\;;find -d " & someFolder & " -name \"\\.FBCLockFolder\" -exec rm -fR {} \\;;find -d " & someFolder & " -name \"\\.FBCIndex\" -exec rm -f {} \\;")

This script removes all Mac
specific files from the folder you select. There is probably a shorter command for this, if anyone knows how to wildcard the target files post it here.


You can also use rsync with the -a switch to turn off copying Mac resource files under 10.4.
