Its me again , after months of vacation , I've got these weird problem on my pcbsd box , everythings is so fine when I left, and now Im trying to move some files from my windows PC to pcbsd shared folder. My problem now is I cant transfer files on my subdirectory folders on PCBSD.
Could you give us a little more detail of what's going on? Are the files on a Windows drive or a PC-BSD drive? Can you give us a directory listing of the files you want to move (using the command ls -l)?
its got to be something with the ntfs permissions to write/read on the drives. We will see after he responds. It might also be that he made the drive be in journal-ing mode and added a new drive that the ntfs journal wrote over.

my files are on a windows PC and I want to transfer that to my PC-BSD shared folder.
Here's a summary on my PC-BSD , I've got a shared folder named installers and I set the permission to writeable I can write anything on my installers directory but I get a access denied on all sub folder, And one more thing I've got a dual boot system PC-BSD and Windows OS last time I tried to share my NTFS drive running on PCBSD everytime I go to that NTFS shared folder via network PC-BSD automatically reboots. Is that the cause?
Regarding the permission denied error on your sub-folders, it's probably a case of either the wrong user owning the directories or the permissions are too tight. Try doing
su
(enter root password)
find /path/to/installers -type d -exec chown -R your_user_name {} \;
find /path/to/installers -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
exit
The first "find" line makes sure your user "your_user_name" will own the sub-folders. The second "find" line will give you write access to the folder. Just change "/path/to/installers" to the path of your installers folder and "your_user_name" to the name on your regular user account.
As to the shared folder, I'm a little confused. You said you're dual booting, but you're trying to access the NTFS share over the network? If the share is on the local machine you should be accessing it directly on your local machine rather than over the network.
