I'm not sure if I completely understand your question, but it sounds like want to either overwrite (replace) existing files you save to the file server, if the file on your computer is newer then the one already there. And basically not do anything with files already on the server that are exactly the same (file name, size, and date) as the ones on your computer.

If this is the case, then it should be the permissions of the folder that you're saving to on the server. Keep in mind if you're saving files to a folder inside a folder on the server, then the parent folder will typically be the only folder you can change the permissions on for all files and folders in it.

To change this you'll need to login on the server, you'll need Administrative rights and you'll have to physically be at the server, or logged in using a remote desktop client. Open the folder that contains the folder that you are trying to save files to across the network. Right click on the folder your trying to save to, left click on Properties in the drop down menu. A new window will open, at the top find the Sharing tab, then click on the Permissions button. In order to prevent duplicates of the same files being created you'll have to grant write/overwrite permission to each user independently or to a group. You need to uncheck the option at the bottom that inherent permissions from the parent folder, though this doesn't always work the way it seems like it should.

Hope this helps, if not, I'm sorry I was taking a shot LOL. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

I wont lie, I don't get much time with Mac's, but on the up side I understand your question now.

On the down side the only thing I can think of is to set up a cron job to get rid of them every once in a while. Since Mac's only create a ._ duplicate file when they modify/create a file. Let me know if this helps any.
