NTFS Support Local and Network
Hello all, I'm new to Mac - loving it and won't go back now (well maybe to play Command and Conquer). I know that OSX Lion only has read support for NTFS on Hard Drives, USB Firewire 800 etc. I can pull data off but when I try to copy to the device is does not let me which is fair enough.
My question is that I'm running a simple file server with a number of NTFS drives that I share to various PC's over the office. I formatted a new drive in ExFat which both Windows and Mac can read/write to.
Whenever I access the NTFS share over the network I can read and write to the NTFS share, is this becasue its using a network share protocol and ignoring the file system in a simular way that a NAS would?
This probally sounds stupid but I've copied loads of files to a NTFS share and they copied fine, Confirmed I can open the files on windows without any issues, don't know if I'm missing something, hopefully someone can shed some light on it for me.
