As someone who dislikes the terminal I have yet to find a file manager that manages recursive permissions (even in root mode). So permissions tend to involve terminal or copy to NTFS to clean Linux permissions.
So as you know, I'm definitely a Linux beginner, but interestingly I think Nemo may do what you want?
I just know that, after downloading some stuff overnight on my derpy "server" (it's just an old copy of Mint 18.x on an old underclocked & undervolted PC running passively because my internet speed isn't that great), all of which is always downloaded to the ~/Downloads folder, if I right-click on Downloads and set the read-write permissions to, well, read & write for that folder, then any of the files and/or folders I just downloaded will get this applied as it's my go-to solution to then be able to modify and/or delete folders over a network folder share from Windows PC.
That being said, if I copy over the network a file from a Windows PC, then I need to set the permission via root instead if I want to be able to modify it from the "server" directly, and it's possible that this
may not work recursively but don't quote me on this.
