Hey there, 

Thanks to NTFS-3G for making read /write support for NTFS file system .it is an open source cross-platform implementation of the Microsoft Windows NTFS file system with read-write support.

Steps to make it work 

1. Install the ntfs-3g using below 

brew install ntfs-3g

2. Once installation is succesful, NTFS-3G you can manually mount NTFS volumes in read-write mode by executing the below commands in your terminal. 

Get the disks avail in your system using below command in your terminal

        diskutil list

 It will display all the avail disk partitions. so see the disk name of pen drive or USB drive you would like to copy. it can be something like below  /dev/disk1s1 ...

Replace /dev/disk1s1 with the actual NTFS partition you want to mount. You can find the partition name using diskutil list.

sudo mkdir /Volumes/NTFS

sudo /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g   /dev/disk1s1     /Volumes/NTFS -olocal -oallow_other

You may face an issue like below

Error opening '/dev/disk3s1': Resource busy

Failed to mount '/dev/disk3s1': Resource busy

Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened.

The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which

could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command.

To resolve above please unmount it and do . to unmount disk 

  sudo umount /dev/disk1s1

Thats it . now you are able to copy/paste/delete the files from MAC OS to Pen drive, Hard disk , USb drive
