recursive scp and directory permissions


When I use scp -r for recursive copy from Win7 to a remote XP machine, the properties for the new directory show the message "The permissions on ... are incorrectly ordered ..." This is for a simple test case. For an attempted network backup, the process hung up, and I could get access to the files on the remote machine only after tinkering with the permissions.

Google revealed problems with directory permissions using Cygwin with scp -r, but not in the past few years. What is the current status? Is there a simple workaround for recursive copy? I tried tar | ssh but again got the message "The permissions ... are incorrectly ordered."
