Hi all, Is there a way to set SFTP server to save client's file permissions (not just ownerships)? I know it's possible with sftp from the client side (using put -p or an explicit chmod) but can the server it self enforce this policy? Right now the group and other's read permisions are always turned off even if source files from the client are set to 0644.
