On Mac :
localhost:FREECOM HDD macintoch$ ls -la
drwxrwxrwx 1 macintoch staff 32768 1 aoû 2014 Annabelle

The same files lost the permissions and I can access the external drive only in consultation. I try to perform with an administrator account sudo chmod 777 -R . but nhing change :-(
What can I do?
Thanks a lot
Both Ubuntu and Mac support natively NTFS filesystem but can't be used as is for writing purpose. Permissions are defined by the mount options of the partition. Most of the time, NTFS partition are mounted with read only access to files and folders.
There is a few solution to enable writing capability:
Both:
Mount partition with the desired rights:
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o rw,auto,user,fmask=0137,dmask=0027 /dev/sda3 /mnt/data
or, mount with permissions authoring (what you actually want to do, chmod):
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o permissions,auto,user,fmask=0137,dmask=0027 /dev/sda3 /mnt/data
You can also tweak your /etc/fstab
to automatically mount partitions at boot:
/dev/sda3 /mnt/data ntfs-3g permissions,user,dmask=027,fmask=137 0 0
Those commands are only samples. Please consult ntfs-3g documentation before playing with your partitions. You may need to adapt a bit depending on the targeted system (Ubuntu/Mac) and/or your needs.
Mac Only:
Paragon NTFS for Mac : all inclusive, seamless experience (no manual mount needed) solution for read, write, verify, repair and much more features on NTFS partitions (paid).
Tuxera NTFS for Mac : almost the same offer than Paragon (paid).
Linux Only:
PS: There is probably other solution but here are the most reliable and efficient ones.
