[QUOTE="jaynorris, post: 585496, member: 18140"] Mac can mount to an NTFS file system. I'm doing it now... Really it's Samba that allows this connection to occur. The difference between FAT32 and NTFS are a lot. The major difference is with NTFS you're able to set permissions to the filesystem, whereas FAT won't - more secure. It's ideal if you "don't" want to share the entire drive. Maybe you want to share a folder instead or the entire drive, NTFS will allow you to do this. The beauty of Samba is will couples Linux based systems and Windows (NTFS, FAT) to read, write, and execute across a network. This is what I think you want to do - right? [/QUOTE]
