That is only relevant if you are sharing an NTFS volume from a Linux machine.
The client machines are writing to the network file system being used,
that is all they have to understand.
If the OS on the machine providing the share does not have the ability
to write to NTFS, none of the machines accessing that share across the
network will be able to write to it. Whether they understand NTFS or
not.
If the OS on the machine providing the share does have the ability to
write to NTFS, all of the accessing that share across the network
(assuming they have the proper permission) will be able to write to the
share. Whether they understand NTFS or not.
Captive can be used in Linux to provide support for writing to an NTFS
volume, but from what I have seen it is a work in progress, a little
quirky, and I would not consider it ready for use in a production
environment.
