I have just attached an external hard drive that is NTFS formatted. Is there any way I can change the permissions. I only have write permissions but I would like to be able to delete and write to the drive. If possible I would like to keep the drive formatted for NTFS.

I am running 10.3.5.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Pc's are in the basement and the Mac is upstairs. I have one of those hard disk Docking stations from Wiebetech that I use to switch out drives.
The Mac and Pc's are networked but it is much faster moving large video files with the Docking station.

Thank you for your assistance but that supports "read only". Panther already has that ability. Do you know of any other software that might be available.

You will almost certainly need to buy it.

Macdrive is a good program, I used it when it was called "PC Macdrive" (or something like that).

With that in mind, time to get shoppin!
