when I take this folder through the windows explores I get files with a "~" attached to there names. If I try to delete them or open them the I get an error
These are created by Windows (may be XP SP2 specific) whenever it creates a file.
They contain zone information metadata - plain text files with details of where the files came from. I have been getting them for a while now, but only when a file is created with XP SP2 writing to a Woody Samba installation. If I create a file on a Sarge Samba installation these files do not appear.
I don't know of a workaround, there may be a way of telling Windows not to add the metadata, or indeed newer versions of Samba may ignore them altogether...
Cheers
