I'm using the SSH Secure File Transfer Client from ssh.com. I'm just
copying the umasks that the SSH Secure File Transfer Client reports when I
right-click a file and choose 'properties.' If I set the checkboxes to
-rw------- it reports umask 600 and if I set it to -rw-rw-r-- (what I want)
it reports umask 644. I don't know how these relate to your translation of
664 to umask 002. At any rate, the real question is how do I change the
default file permissions from within SSH Secure File Transfer Client? One
person suggested unchecking 'preserve file times' in the Global Settings,
but that did not work.
I'm not entirely clear on what you mean about setting the umask when I
start sshd, or modifying my boot script. Are these things that the server
admin would need to change in their setup of SSH on their server? Or are
they things I can change from within the settings dialogs in ssh.com's SSH
Secure File Transfer Client?
