After copying files from Ubuntu to Windows using rsync on ssh, the copied files and folder have permissions that only creator have full access and other users including SYSTEM and Administrators have only special permissions.

Root folder permissions:

Root folder permissions

Sometimes other users can't open or copy the files. When opening Properties ➝ Security for the files/folders received message "The permissions on <file/folder name> are incorrectly ordered, which may cause some entries to be ineffective"

Only after running the command icacls "<path to the folder where stored problematic files>" /reset /T /C , other users can use the files/folders correctly

    Why are you using Cygwin instead of configuring OpenSSH which is built-into Windows as an optional windows feature? It seems your issues are connected to Cygwin.

  • @Ramhound Added screenshots. I'm using Cygwin for rsync. rsync should be installed on 2 machines to copy files over ssh.

    You can try adding --chmod=ugo=rwX to give new files the destination-default permissions (while leaving existing files unchanged)
