ntfs drive permissions

I can read from my Windows XP partition but I can not write to it. How do I do that in Red Hat 8.0.

Also, is there a way I can get Windows XP to access my Linux information?

you don't. if you search this site a little you'll find a lot of people ask this, and every single one will be VERY strongly advised not to, as the writable NTFS driver is unstable and unreliable, as it is all guesswork.

If you just want to move files back and forth I'd suggest working with SSH and then tunnelling port 21 through it. Set the FTP server on the Linux box not to accept connections coming from the ethernet interface and that will ensure that only SSH initiated transfers can occur. Then all you have to pick is your Windows FTP client...

unless i'm being very very dumb he is quite clearly asking about partitions inside his own machine, not on a network.
