How can I read and write an ntfs drive on Mac?

I have previously encountered the need to write NTFS drive on a Mac. Since the Mac system does not support direct writing to NTFS by default, I decided to try to use Apple's file sharing feature to solve this problem. By setting up file sharing, I can handle the NTFS-formatted hard drive on Windows, and the Mac can access these files over the network, thus indirectly achieving the purpose of "writing" NTFS on the Mac.

Here are the specific steps:

1. Open "System Preferences" and click the "Sharing" icon.
2. Check the "File Sharing" option in the list of shared services.
3. Under the "File Sharing" option, you can add folders to share and set who can access them.
4. In the "Users" list, you can add new users and set their access rights, such as read, write, or read-only.
   On a Windows computer, open "File Explorer" and type \\[Mac's IP address] in the address bar and press Enter.
5. If necessary, enter the username and password you set on the Mac.

With this setup, I can make changes to files on either computer and the other computer will sync the changes. The benefits of using file sharing are fast transfer speeds and intuitive operation, especially in a home network environment. However, it is key to ensure that the network is set up correctly, as incorrect settings may cause sharing to fail.
