I recently had the need to write to an NTFS formatted disk and found out that I only had read permissions. I could not have this, therefore, and after some Internet searching, I found out how to do this. This "hack" is a really easy one, but really useful as well, nonetheless.
Native file handling capabilities of the Mac Os can be extended using Google's MacFUSE, as can be read at the project's home page. At the same page you can download the .dmg and install it.
You're halfway through. Now you just need the NTFS part, that can be downloaded here, install it, restart and you're good to go!
The Tuxera product needs a license after 15 days, if you find one that works just the same and is free, please tell me something.
*UPDATE*: See the comments for a free product.

You were almost there, Tuxera is a commercial version, but NTFS-3G is the free version, developed by the same team.

That's right, I saw that and tried to compile it, but got an error. Maybe it's because I haven't updated to Snow Leopard yet... :$
The good thing about this one is that it's a .dmg, so it's REALLY easy to install.
But thanks anyway. ;)
No need for compilation, just install the dmg ;)
