NTFS support on El Capitan Just a quick question, is NTFS supported on El Capitan? I just plugged in my external hard drive and I am able to copy stuff from it, but not write to it. I guess only read mode is supported?
To enable NTFS write support on OS X 10.11 El Capitan or macOS 10.12 Sierra.


Install latest osxfuse (3.x.x) from https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/releases. (you don't need MacFUSE Compatibility Layer) or from Homebrew with brew cask install osxfuse.
Install latest NTFS-3G (2016.2.22) from Homebrew. (you need Xcode)


As follow:

brew install ntfs-3g



Link NTFS-3G to boot after temporary disabling System Integrity Protection.


As follow:

[reboot by holding CMD+R to get in recovery mode]
csrutil disable
[reboot normally]
sudo mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs.original
sudo ln -s /usr/local/sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs
[reboot by holding CMD+R to get in recovery mode]
csrutil enable
[reboot normally]
