ntfs_acl_tool

This is a simple tool which can describe NTFS ACL of any directory or file. Its main use is to edit those ACL, so you can use a USB drive as an external storage for your Xbox Series.

It will probably only work on Linux.

Dependencies

You will need ntfs-3g and python-xattr on your machine. You can install them with any packet manager.

Usage

usage: ntfs_acl_tool show [-h] path

  path        File or directory to show

  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

usage: ntfs_acl_tool edit [-h] (--inject | --replace) [-r] path

  --inject         Inject the required ACL and keep existing ones
  --replace        Replace all existing ACL with the new one
