Ntfsprogs was a collection of free Unix utilities for managing the NTFS file system used by the Windows NT operating system (since version 3.1) on a hard disk partition. 'ntfsprogs' was the first stable method of writing to NTFS partitions in Linux.^[1]

All NTFS versions were supported, as used by 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. ntfsprogs was a popular way of interacting with NTFS partitions and was included by most Linux distributions^[2] and on Live CDs. There are also versions that have been compiled for Windows.

On April 12, 2011 Tuxera announced that Ntfsprogs project was merged into NTFS-3G.^[3]
