Description
Directories are set to read-only (properties in Windows Explorer say "read-only - only applies to files in folder"). In fact folders are not read-only, but it prevents some programs from working properly if they check directory permission before writting.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by tracing how sshfs-win exposes directory attributes and permissions to Windows Explorer, then reproduce the behavior with a mounted directory. Done means directories no longer appear read-only in Explorer and programs that check directory permissions can work correctly.
