That may answer the Mac question, but I need some clarification. Can the Mac read and write to a native NTFS filesystem running on a Windows 2000, or XP Home system?
I have connected an NTFS drive to my Powerbook (a firewire drive that was formatted NTFS on my wife's PC), and Mac OS X dutifully mounted it and allowed me to access it like any other drive I have.
I was, unfortunately, a bit too nervous to attempt to write, but as I have a drive I can test with, I will let you know later this afternoon if OS X can successfully write to NTFS without destroying or corrupting the filesystem.
Over the network, though, Samba really is the great equalizer. Anything that exports any filesystem via Samba can have it read/ written to by any client that supports Samba/SMB/CIFS.
