Kubuntu: Enable write access to Windows Phone

I've written a short tutorial explaining how to enable write support for Windows devices like the Windows Phone in KDE/Plasma-based distributions using the ntfs-config utility. Read on.

Good tutorial.

It should be simple to get data off your device.

The other reason for the security is to keep out malware - sensible in view of the fact a smart phone or usb drive can write to your computer's hard drive and who knows what's really on your file.

That said, I happen to believe people know what's best for their data than the people keeping them from sharing it.
