remember that I found a way to do it even in rebol... I had sent a ftp protocol patch 
which allowed files to be set as executable... once transfered... its quite easy..

my patch does crash rebol's ftp access at some point, as I did not put enough time 
into properly identifying tcp handshaking, but for any one who is just transfering a 
few files and has a decent connection to his server, it works.  if the connection 
fails, just restart rebol and continue...

ftp itself supports the chmod command, its just a question of sending it.
