Set execute permission for files on NTFS partition [Ubuntu 13.04]

Description:

Can't execute or set execute permission for executable (Linux executable) files in NTFS partition.

Details:

OS:Ubuntu 13.04

NTFS partition mounted by clicking on the partition name that appear in the 'Devices' section in the Nautilus window (File Explorer).

Reason:

The NTFS file system don't have the permission bits like that in the Linux because NTFS is designed for windows.

Fix:

In the /etc/fstab file mount the NTFS partition using the umask=000 and exec option.

umask indicates which all permissions you want to restrict, so umask=000 mean everyone will have read,write and execute permission on the disk after the mounting.
