I've recently installed FreeNAS and have been sing it successfully except one minor problem and that is I can't copy files to my FAT32/NTFS mounted hard disks. Is it not permissible in FreeNAS at all or I'll have to do some workaround to get that feature working?
Hope to see your expert advise soon. Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

FAT32/NTFS mounts are read only on FreeNAS. From the FreeNAS FAQ on the topic:
Q: Can I use an NTFS, FAT, or EXT formatted drive with FreeNAS?
A: Yes you can, but there are limits:
UFS is the native FreeNAS file system, it is robust, stable and we recommend you use it. You can use other file systems in read/write mode, but this is not recommended.
