Solution
The "Inherit permissions from Parent" feature does not work. You should not select the "Inherit permissions from parent" option.
As a workaround, select the "Assign as follows" option instead. Using the Owner, Group, and Everyone pop-up menus, set the desired privileges for files to be copied to or from a share point by Windows clients.
