Can I access W2K drives from FreeBSD on dual-boot box?

[List Lurker]

Took an old dual-PII** box from work to home & have set it up to boot
IBM-DOS 2000, Windows 2K, and FreeBSD 5.2.1 ...

Am an old OS/2 dog, however, a total unix newbie that's

.... interested in knowing if its possible to actually see/use the NTFS
drives whilst booted up in FreeBSD.

Mainly this will be to do some Dreamweaver MX/Studio MX coding under
W2K, and then from unix, move the HTML, etc. files to appropriate Apache
dirs on same box.

Is this a SAMBA thing, a simple "mount" exercise?

Any advice/e.g.'s/links/etc. would be much obliged.

Regards

topic as well.

Of course, at least for reading; writing to this proprietary format is
dangerous.

The apropos command will help you look for relevant man pages:

% apropos ntfs
mount_ntfs(8) - mount an NTFS file system
