There seems to be no straightforward method to write to NTFS volumes over a network in Mac OS X El Capitan or macOS Monterey. You mentioned encountering issues with partitions appearing as folders on the network but not being recognized as mounts on your main PC. It appears the file system doesn't properly interpret them. Consider alternatives like exFAT, though you noted limited space for backups. If you have other details or specific scenarios, feel free to share.

Most network shares such as SMB/CIFS work similarly. NFS, APFS and similar protocols allow flexibility—filesystems on the server aren't critical. You can easily write to NTFS via SMB (I've done this many times). Just create a network share and you're good.

You're unsure about accessing your main PC through Finder. Try entering the network settings directly instead of navigating via Finder.

You can generally accomplish that. I’ll run the connect network drive command, and it should function similarly to another storage device. Any problems you’re experiencing with the network share?

The restricted symbol isn't appearing, yet it blocks moving local files to the NTFS partition. This issue occurs on HFS+ or APFS drives (APFS requires Monterey; El Capitan can't run it), while it functions normally on other formats.

Because it's a network share, NTFS/ext4/exfat aren't suitable; SMB is being used instead. Verify the share permissions on both the server and client sides.

Reviewing the target folder and the Backups volume both display "You can only read." In APFS it mentions custom access, while another NTFS partition on the same disk keeps showing the same restriction.

The permissions are configured based on the server's settings. Ensure write access is available on the server. Since it uses SMB, the filesystem type is likely NTFS or another supported format, not SMB directly.

I don't understand, I'll need to look at it tomorrow (it's 11 PM here and I think I should be resting). Appreciate your assistance!
