Reading & executing files stored on NTFS partition

[AdyBow]

It seems that I am only able to read or execute files copied from my NTFS partition if I am logged in as root. If I copy them to my home directory and change the 'group' permissions to allow read & execute I still cannot open them.

My normal user account is a member of the 'users' group. Please can someone tell me what additional groups I need to be added to so that I can read these files?

Many thanks in advance,
Andy

i can't undestand why you can't open them.are you sure that you right click on the files (after logging in as root) and set correctly the permissions?
owner:can vie & modify content
group: <the same >
others:<the same>
advanced permissions :check all the boxes.
i think that will work.else use a script when you login to chmod 777 /file-path

stathisx: That won't work since it's NTFS.

AdyBow: edit your /etc/fstab using a umask and it will fix your problem. There are several posts and answers, so try searching if you don't know how to do it.
