      Consider the following script:

      node( 'macos' ) {
        sh 'rm -rf *'
        sh 'echo "int main() { return 0; }" > test.cpp'
        sh 'mkdir bin && gcc test.cpp -o bin/test'
        sh "ls -l bin"
        stash name:'test', includes: "bin/*"
      }node( 'windows' ) {
          unstash 'test'
          stash name:'test2', includes: 'bin/*'
      }node( 'linux' ) {
        sh 'rm -rf *'
        unstash 'test2'
        sh "ls -l bin"
      }
      

      It produces the following output:

      So, after unstashing the unix binary on windows node and stashing it back, it loses its unix file permissions.

       

      Since windows does not have unix file permissions, I would expect that on windows would treat all files in 777 mode, especially after stashing back.

       

      In case if you are wondering why is this important to me, here is the explanation:

      I use Jenkins to build Conan packages of my software. The binaries are first built on various nodes for various platforms (windows, linux, macos, android and ios) and after binaries for every platform have been built successfully, they are all collected on first available node using the stash/unstash mechanism and there they are packaged and uploaded to Conan repository.

      Due to this issue this causes for binaries that are built on unix nodes lose their file permissions if they are packaged on windows node. A possible workaround would be to enforce packaging on unix node or to perform some partial packaging on nodes that have created the binaries. As these workarounds work for me, I've set priority of this issue as "minor".
