How can I use "chmod" command under the NTFS file system

Question

I wanted to change the file permission when I use "git", but the "chmod" didn't work. How can I use "chmod" command under the NTFS file system?

Answer 1

You can't. See: https://askubuntu.com/questions/11840/how-to-chmod-on-an-ntfs-or-fat32-partition

The mode is determined by the partition's mount options (you cannot change it via chmod).

For '755' on files and '777' on directories you would use something like

sudo mount -t ntfs -o rw,auto,user,fmask=0022,dmask=0000 /dev/whatever /mnt/whatever
