Add NTFS read and write capabilities to your Mac

One of the less known (and unofficial) innovations in Snow Leopard is the ability to mount NTFS volumes with both read/write support.

NTFS Mounter is a simple utility designed to mount NTFS volumes in read/write mode. NTFS Mounter uses this feature to provide a simple user interface to the mount command for NTFS volumes. The straightforward user interface is similar to AirPort. Just click on the icon to display a menu with NTFS volumes name and select the volume you want to write on.

Everything can be accessed using the black cat symbol placed in your status menu. Clicking on it searches any NTFS volumes attached to your Mac. Simply click on one to mount it and you're done. Note, however, that NTFS Mounter won't eject the volume itself to stop any other applications crashing if they are accessing files on the volume, so you'll have to do that manually.

NTFS Mounter is a simple and effective way to take advantage of Snow Leopard's new read/write support for NTFS voumes.

User reviews about NTFS Mounter

NTFS Mounter. Works for me! noticed I was having trouble writing to a Windows 7 external drive (USB) using OSX 10.6 and discovered this utility. It was a snap to install, icon is attractive, and functionality appears to be fine. Not sure about the unmounting side (haven't gotten around to testing that)of things, but see no reason for that to be anything other than (at most) a minor problem. I can write to the external NTFS drive and that was what I wanted to do. Now if Apple can only make this resident within 10.6 so others can do this without having to install an app (heck they've had since Windows 2000 to figure this out) my day would be complete (ok, I have other things to do - but you know what I mean!Still I really appreciate the work of the author of this program and will visit his site to see if there are other goodies and make a small donation to encourage him and others to continue this sort of work.John :-#)#
