removing file
 
when i use remove(filename) in c; it removes that file but replaces it with .nfs0209c0fb0000002e with the same contents of the last one

do you have any idea???

remove() should simply remove the file and not just rename it. Try this:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>

...

if (remove("test") < 0) {
        perror("remove");
}
And see if you get any output.

the .nfsNN file is created when a file is accessed on the nfs and then when you delete the orgiginal file, the copy .nfsNN is left.. make sure the file is closed when you delete it.. if that does not do it, you may have to use a function specific to nfs.. remove() may not be able to do it..
