What version of SUSE are you using? and are you struggling to write to an NTFS file system or export from an application?

To write to NTFS partitions, you'll need ntfs-3g installed. I'm not sure if it installs by default with suse, or not.

Its installed by default on 10.3 ... at least it got installed on my system by default.

Thanks for the info, Jonathan. Just out of curiosity, does the /etc/fstab file get properly setup by default, too, or did you have to go in and edit it yourself?

Not for write access ... by default the partition is mounted read/write but fstab option will be something like ...
users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale=en_GB.U TF-8

Which need to be changed to something like ...
users,gid=users,fmask=0,dmask=0,locale=en_GB.UTF-8

It also means any user can write to the files stored on the partition. I think you can play with this to give write access to a single user/user group but the NTFS partitions I mount for write access are for general data storage so I have not played with the settings much.

These can be accessed in YAST -> System -> Partitioner if required.

A few questions arose in the preceding posts. Here's a summary of the situation with NTFS in Suse:
• Check/install ntfs-3g, libfuse2 and fuse
• GUI application ntfs-config turns write permission on and off, one-click. See qualification below.
• External USB NTFS drives will not automount rw for users when powered on
• Fstab for Windows-like permissions (drwxrwxrwx):
/dev/sda2 /mnt/winxp ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
• CLI temporary mount for Windows-like permissions (drwxrwxrwx):
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/winxp
• Fstab for Linux-like permissions (drwxr-xr-x):
/dev/sda2 /mnt/winxp ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=100,umask=0022 0 0
• CLI temporary mount for Linux-like permissions (drwxr-xr-x):
mount -t ntfs-3g -o rw,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=0022 /dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3

FFI: Mount your NTFS Filesystem/Partition for Read/Write Access in openSUSE 10.0 through 10.3

After the last post I looked again at the OpenSUSE page NTFS - openSUSE
I'm sure it did not look like that last time
ntfs-3g installed by default
just install ntfs-config using YAST
Off you go ! ... note to self ... google before struggling !

I have downloaded putty -sftp on windows NT client and used command to "get" file... It worked very well.

I also tired to put file and it worked perfectly!

thanks again for your help and guidance! I am using SuSe 10 prof version

thanks
Chandra
