            Bug ID: 15853
           Summary: 'cp -rf' doesn't keep destination permissions
           Product: Busybox
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Standard Compliance
          Assignee: unassigned at busybox.net
          Reporter: fulalas123 at gmail.com

  Target Milestone: ---

Issue: 'cp -rf' doesn't keep destination permissions.

How to replicate:
        1- have a 644 permission test.txt file in /etc/xdg/autostart
        2- have a 755 permission test.txt file in /tmp
        3- call busybox using: busybox cp -rf /tmp /etc/xdg/autostart/test.txt

Expected behavior: the new file copied should replace the original one and keep
the original file permissions.

Current behavior: the new file copied replaces the original one but it also
replaces its permission, and that's not the behavior of cp from coreutils
(https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/).

I'm using busybox 1.36.1
