When I go to mypogoplug.com and view my remote home server files, I see a lot of files listed under the "type" column as "application/octet-stream".

Not being a techie programmer, I have no idea what these files are, how they came to be, and why are they roosting on my drive? If they don't serve any useful purpose, I'd like to delete all of them so I can remove the clutter from my drive.

Is there a way to keep these octets from showing up when I move files to my pogoplug drive? I simply want my drive to look like a normal Windows Explorer directory with familiar file extensions such as .exe, .doc, .xls, etc.

Thanks for any insight.
