NTFS Partition Permissions Denied

How do I use 'chmod' on an NTFS (or FAT32) partition?

Don't forget reboot!

caution

I had to stop using ntfs-3g due to unexpected "permission denied" failures.

Useful commands:

# for one file

stat -c '%a - %n' filename     # list file permission in 777 style
chmod 755 filename             # change file permission to 755

# for all files in current folder

stat -c '%a - %n' *
chmod 755 -R *                 # change permissions recursively
