Hi y'all,
This is a simple question at which you more seasoned types will probably
roll your eyes and mutter "RTFM," but here it is anyway.
<rolls eyes> RTFM!!!
Come on, you were expecting that right? :-)

Good luck, Tanner Lovelace
I hate to be the one to point it out, but, um... check out the man page. :) Note the -p option, which is defined as:
-p Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the original file.
If you'd prefer an HTML version of the man page: http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/tpl/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?coll=linux&db=man&fname=/usr/share/catman/man1/scp.1.html&srch=scp
Note: He will of course have to either a) set the permissions correctly on his local copies, or b) use scp to pull down local copies with the correct permissions, before adding -p will have the desired effect.
