Annoying .DS_Store files!!!!

Hmm, maybe Transmit has an option not to upload invisible files....? The manual way to avoid it is to only drag files into the Transmit window and not folders. You can also trash the .DS_Store files on your own system from the Terminal like so:

find . -name .DS_Store -exec rm -f

There's also a couple of programs available to trash these files.
 
Thanks ;)
What would be the unix command be to delete all .DS_Store files within a particular directory and its sub-directories?
 
so what are these .DS_store files for anyway? They dont want to be manually deleted, so it seems they are important, right?
 
Ahh, thanks for the insights. I'll search next time.

For now, I'm thinking my first script will be an "update remote folder" script. The idea is there is a folder on my machine that has all my local files (Web page stuff), and when I run the update script it ftps and 'cleans' up the remote files (without harming .htaccess files).

When (if) I ever get this done, its free for everyone of course. There's probably something already like this, but I like to create my own interfaces, and I think it would be a good first little scripting project.
