Hmm.. Well, it's either not in the older version (2.1.0), or it's some
other problem. I used the sftp GUI to send a powerpoint file and it
was saved 644. I wonder if the default permissions from the GUI are
related to umask. Has anyone else noticed this sort of behavior,
because if it does exist, it's definitely a problem.
