Your local machine runs MS Windows. Do you have problems, when copying
local files to remote, or vice versa?

If not (you copy only remote files), it might be that you don't have
enough karma to change file permission on the target file. Maybe you
could give us a concrete example? Source file name, target file name,
ownership of both files and the upper directory, expected permissions,
etc.

And maybe you could run a test, when tramp-verbose is set to 6. The
resulting debug buffer could tell us more.

Best regards, Michael.
