Ok, so due to reasons that are kind of annoying, but none the less legitimate enough for me to post the question, I have a redhat server here in which all newly created files need to have the file permissions rwxr-xr-x (755). These files are created when the clients sftp them to the their specific directories. The problem of course is set umask subtracts from the default mask and the default umask for text files is 666 not 777. Unfortunately I need ALL files to be 755, so the question is, how can I change the default mask to be 777 for all files so set umask works?
I don't remember if this affects scp, sftp, or both. Try creating a ".profile" with a umask statement in it. See if that helps.
