Just a quick link to an Apple’s article which explains how to disable .DS_Store creation on remote filesystems.

Quoting the online document: “This will affect the user’s interactions with SMB/CIFS, AFP, NFS, and WebDAV servers.”

• Open a Terminal ;
• Run the following command :

# defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true

• Restart or log-out / log-in.

That’s All Folks!
