Linux systems can read and write NTFS via the ntfs-3g software. If I were
doing it, I would probably use the command line 'cp' program to copy files
and directories - but that's because I don't normally use any sort of file
manager. I'm sure one of the Linux GUI file managers would work as well.
For directories, one would use the '-r' option - copy recursively. I'd
also suggest -a (can combine as '-ar') to preserve creation data.
