The one thing I see offhand is that using the -p option with scp should cause the original permissions to be preserved; otherwise, scp uses whatever umask it inherits (from the calling program on the local side probably, or from sshd on the remote side?); Sun's sshd I think uses UMASK= from /etc/default/login, or defaults to 022 if that isn't set. That's all from a _very_ quick look at the code...I don't claim I got it right, and I didn't look at sftp. This message posted from opensolaris.org
