This is because the sftp protocol has no notion of a user's umask - all permissions are passed explicitly in the protocol, so it has to pick a default. The default we chose was the permissions of the origin file. An alternative might be to implement the notion of a umask in the client, but I think the current behaviour should stay as default for safety and backwards conmpatibility. -d _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
