Mount an NTFS USB hard disk with write permissions

You will need the open-source ntfs-3g driver installed on your Linux system. On Fedora and other systems that use dnf you can install it with:

sudo dnf install ntfs-3g

If you are running a Debian-based system (Ubuntu, Raspbian, Mint, etc.), you can use:

sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g

 If your drive is /dev/sda1, you can now mount it (in this example /media/USBDRIVE is an existing directory) and set an owner (replace <your_user> and <your_group> with your actual user and group names) with:

sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o uid=,gid= /dev/sda1 /media/USBDRIVE/

You will possible want to mount this drive at boot time. In that case, add a line like this to your /etc/fstab file:

/dev/sda1 /media/USBDRIVE ntfs-3g auto,users,permissions 0 0
