Bug#841237: openssh-server: force exact permissions on newly uploaded files and directories
I'd like to register a vote here. Fedora and therefore RHEL have been shipping this patch for 6 years now: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/openssh/blob/f22/f/openssh-6.7p1-sftp-force-permission.patch The chances of BSD either upstreaming this patch OR providing a patch which behaves differently to this one seems to me to be quite low.

Thanks for the patch, but this sort of thing has to go upstream first. The reason for this is: what if upstream decided to integrate some other change that added a -m option with different semantics? Then I, and Debian users, would be in a sticky situation with no clear way out. I have no particular objection to the patch, but there's no point continuing to promote it on this bug report.

Dear Maintainer(s), The V3 patch (https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/attachment.cgi?id=3096) forces permission on directories as well, builds cleanly both with Debian 8 and 9 (openssh-server 1:7.4p1-10+deb9u1 and 1:7.6p1-2) and is a great feature IMHO. Please integrate. Elemér
