I'd be curious to know if it is still the case that ntfs writes are

Sorry I was reading so much I go the commands mixed up, it's the mount_ntfs
command I was quoting
The windows NT/2000/XP standard filesystem, NTFS, is tightly integrated with
Microsoft's kernel. To write to an NTFS partition, you must have extensive knowledge of
how the filesystem works. Unfortunately, since that information is not available from
Microsoft, you can read NTFS partitions but writing may corrupt the partition. The mount
command is mount_ntfs(8).
Note: Since Microsoft holds its filesystem interface so dear, and changes it
regularly, don't count on this for frequent use. Using mount_ntfs can damage
the filesystem
sysutils/fusefs-ntfs is supposed to have read/write for ntfs file
systems. I used it a few times probably more than a year ago. It was
mostly ok but I got some file corruption on big copies. The command to
mount something is ntfs-3g if I remember rightly.
To the OP the windows SSH client PuTTY (first result in google) includes
a command line utility pscp.exe which works like scp. Good for grabbing
files from your BSD box to your Windows box.
