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.


Okay, having tested now, OS X will read a locally-attached NTFS filesystem, but not write to it.

Thanks for checking. It looks like Samba is the best solution then. A bit more work but more satisfactory in the end.
