ntfscp - copy file to an NTFS volume.

ntfscp was written by Yura Pakhuchiy, with contributions from Anton Altaparmakov and Hil  Liao.   It  was
       ported to ntfs-3g by Erik Larsson.

ntfscp is part of the ntfs-3g package and is available from:
       https://github.com/tuxera/ntfs-3g

       There are no known problems with ntfscp. If you find a bug please send an email describing the problem to
       the development team:
       ntfs-3g-devel@lists.sf.net

       All data on NTFS is stored in streams, which can have names. A file can have more than one data  streams,
       but  exactly  one  must  have no name. The size of a file is the size of its unnamed data stream. Usually
       when you don't specify stream name you are access to unnamed data stream. If you  want  access  to  named
       data stream you need to add ":stream_name" to the filename. For example: by opening "some.mp3:artist" you
       will  open  stream  "artist"  in "some.mp3". But windows usually prevent you from accessing to named data
       streams, so you need to use some program like FAR or utils from cygwin to access named data streams.

ntfscp  will  copy  file  to  an  NTFS  volume.  destination  can be either file or directory. In case if
       destination is directory specified by name then source_file is copied into this  directory,  in  case  if
       destination  is  directory  and specified by inode number then unnamed data attribute is created for this
       inode and source_file is copied into it (WARNING: it's unusual  to  have  unnamed  data  streams  in  the
       directories, think twice before specifying directory by inode number).

       Copy new_boot.ini from /home/user as boot.ini to the root of an /dev/hda1 NTFS volume:

              ntfscp/dev/hda1/home/user/new_boot.iniboot.ini

       Copy myfile to C:\some\path\myfile:stream (assume that /dev/hda1 letter in windows is C):

              ntfscp-Nstream/dev/hda1myfile/some/path

       Below is a summary of all the options that ntfscp accepts.  Nearly all options have two equivalent names.
       The  short  name  is  preceded by - and the long name is preceded by --.  Any single letter options, that
       don't take an argument, can be combined into a single command, e.g.  -fv is equivalent to  -f-v.   Long
       named options can be abbreviated to any unique prefix of their name.

       -a, --attribute NUM
              Write to this attribute.

       -i, --inode
              Treat destination as inode number.

       -m, --min-fragments
              Minimize fragmentation when allocating space to the attribute. This is mostly useful when creating
              big files.

       -N, --attr-name NAME
              Write to attribute with this name.

       -n, --no-action
              Use  this  option  to make a test run before doing the real copy operation.  Volume will be opened
              read-only and no write will be done.

       -f, --force
              This will override some sensible defaults, such as not working with a mounted  volume.   Use  this
              option with caution.

       -h, --help
              Show a list of options with a brief description of each one.

       -q, --quiet
              Suppress some debug/warning/error messages.

       -t, --timestamp
              Copy  the modification time of source_file to destination. This is not compatible with --attr-name
              and --attribute.

       -V, --version
              Show the version number, copyright and license ntfscp.

       -v, --verbose
              Display more debug/warning/error messages.
