How to copy NTFS files to an Apple Fomatted [AF] Drive?
Is there any code for the terminal to copy the NTFS files to an AF Drive?
As if I drag and drop the file, it said "The Destination is Read-Only".
This is very urgent, please please help me immediately, thankyou!

you dont need any code, but you do need write permission on the drive..

the easiest way to do this is to give your user write permission to the disk

 sudo chown user:user /media/apple/disk

where user is your username, and the path pointing to your mounted AF disk

Thankyou for your reply, but sorry that I am a beginner of Ubuntu, I use the Ubuntu Live CD to boot Ubuntu (that means I didn't really install it), I don't really know the default name of the user account, can you tell me what's the name? thankyou

[justleen]

in a terminal, you can use the command "id" to find what user you are..

or "whoami"

Woo! Thanks for your reply, really really thanks for your reply
I'll try it later (I'm not near my laptop)
Are you one of the members of Ubuntu Team? Cool!

Hi justleen, I've tried it, but I still can't write files on the drive by using your method. Also I've tried another code which the Terminal taught me. Here are the codes:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo chown ubuntu:ubuntu /media/LEOPARD
chown: changing ownership of `/media/LEOPARD': Read-only file system

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo chown -hR ubuntu:ubuntu /media/LEOPARD
chown: changing ownership of `/media/LEOPARD/.com.apple.timemachine.supported': Read-only file system
chown: changing ownership of `/media/LEOPARD/.HFS+ Private Directory Data\r': Read-only file system
chown: changing ownership of `/media/LEOPARD/.journal': Read-only file system
chown: changing ownership of `/media/LEOPARD/.journal_info_block': Read-only file system
chown: changing ownership of `/media/LEOPARD/.Trashes': Read-only file system
chown: changing ownership of `/media/LEOPARD': Read-only file system

Did I do anything wrong?

Let me repeat the problem:
When I drag any file from any NTFS Drive to the Apple-Formatted Drive [LEOPARD], It said: "Error while copying to "LEOPARD". : The destination is read-only."
