writing to ntfs in linux

Writing to ntfs

  • The NTFS-3G driver is an open source, freely available NTFS driver for Linux with read and write support. It provides safe and fast handling of the Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 file systems. Most POSIX file system operations are supported, with the notable exception of file ownership and access right changes.
    The Linux NTFS project has released a beta version of its fully open source userspace (using FUSE) 3G-Linux NTFS support driver.I have not used this method,it is still in beta phase.

  • Other commercial Paragon NTFS driver and also Captive NTFS which is uses windows ntfs.sys driver under WINE.
