PCs and Macs can file share over a network, but it can be difficult to set up. I have encountered Windows machines that refuse to mount Mac shares and vice versa, even when settings are identical to other working pairs.
Thursby Dave on a Mac.... Robert's your uncle, no probes with accessing windows shares again.

And if you really can't get shares going, you can also just resort to FTP or SFTP. The mac has both of those built-in and you can get free FTP/SFTP servers for windows.

NTFS is OK for a one way transfer from PC to Mac, as the Mac can read NTFS, but won't write to them.
When was the last time you Googled the words Mac and NTFS together ?

See Paragon NTFS for Mac or Tuxera NTFS for Mac.

Paragon also do HFS+ for Windows.

Never used em myself because I use network shares to get around the file system format problem. But they are out there !
