Fix file permissions in Mac OS X

A few days ago I copied a bunch of files/folders from an external NTFS formatted hard drive to my MacBook. The files where copied ok, but the permissions where messed up. How did I fix them? With this simple command: $ chmod -Rv u=rwx,g=rx,o=r username path_to_base_folder It recursively goes through all files and folders and fix their permissions. Source!

Read and Write NTFS partition under Snow Leopard

This is experimental, and known to be unstable, use at your own risk. You need to modify /etc/fstab file to mount NTFS partitions for read and write. First, uninstall NTFS-3G/Paragon if installed. Open Terminal run diskutil info /Volumes/volume_name and copy the Volume UUID. Backup /etc/fstab if you have it (shouldn't be there in a default install).  Run sudo vim /etc/fstab and write: UUID=paste_the_uuid_here none ntfs rw or LABEL=volume_name none ntfs rw (if you don't have UUID for the disk). Repeat for other NTFS partitions. Restart your system. Thats all! source (great web)
