Weird files when copying Illust CS2 file

[ebrady]

Bizarre problem and can't make any sense of it. A user tries to copy a package of illustrator files over to a network share but for some reason in one of the directories, two files are created that weren't there to begin with, one being a unix executable labeled _BWA07~0 and a directory labeled B3GAKX~9. Files related to one of the Illustrator projects are moved in to the new strange directory as opposed to the one it should be copied in to.

Mac OS 10.4, Illustrator CS2 and copying over to a unix based file server.

Any help/explanation/insight is greatly appreciated!

The server is creating the extra files because of how mac files are built. Mac files have two directory forks, and I assume unix files have only one directory fork, as do pc files.

Might have your server administrator look at the problem. I can't remember what the solution is for unix servers.
