Good. You probably will do better asking over on the specialized

Your Mandrake box has some name, or at least IP address.
You should be able to go to any browser in your network
and enter the URL
http://mandrakename:9000/

(replacing mandrakename with whatever your server's name is.)

Linux can read NTFS file systems, but it can't write to them (at least
easily)

There are lots of alternatives, including plugging the
NTFS drive into your Linux box,
running Samba client, using FTP/SFTP

It really depends on what you want to do.

And I'd suggest using an EXT3 file system on Linux over
either FAT or NTFS
