Is it getting the +x permission for your user or one of its groups?  Windows requires this just as Unix does.

Post the getfacl and icalcs output for putty.exe if you think it’s correct.

That’s Explorer saying that, not Cygwin, right?  Let Explorer fix it.

If it doesn’t need any Windows-specific permissions, you can strip all non-Cygwin/POSIX permissions:

   $ setfacl -kb putty.exe
   $ chmod +x putty.exe

Do it in that order.  (The second command may not work or may do strange things if you do it before stripping the non-POSIX permissions.)

If that still fails, setfacl -kb the directory you’re doing this in, but only if it’s a directory that only Cygwin uses.  Otherwise, you risk breaking some ACL Windows or a native Windows program depends on.

Yes, Windows seems to set the +x permission the way some people use table salt.

Oh, that might not be true.  Windows’ permission inheritance model can result in the destination mattering.  What you mean to say is, you have yet to find a target directory where the results are different. :)

This may not be a wget problem.  cygwin1.dll is becoming more POSIX-compliant in its permission handling lately.
