We have a Debian 8 with an NFS server exported with "/client-share *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,all_squash,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000)" that works just fine when transferring files from a Windows machine NFS client. Normally, files are located in the NFS server with the mask permissions of the uid and gid as per the configuration eg:
"-rw-r--r--".
The problem is that if the file transferred from Windows machine is marked read-only(ntfs), picture:
Than it breaks the permissions and the file located at the NFS server will have read-only permissions as:
"-r-r--r--".
The Windows NFS client properties are also configured with the right gid/uid. We have tried using ACLs with setfacl -m "default:group:rwx" /nfs but that doesn't work either. Files are being transferred as 'read-only'.
How can we overcome that?

squash_all has nothing to do with files permissions. It controls only files owner ship. There must be windows client configuration, where you can set default permission for newly created files and directories.
