Not really. I suspect FTP may not be preserving permissions across the transfer
(no proof though). But git doesn't preserve file permissions as pat of the
state. Personally I use mercurial which does include the permissions in the
state.
But there's also the issue of Windows permissions versus UNIX permissions.

If there is a way in this CuteFTP software to maintain file
permissions in this back-and-forth transferring between a Windows and
CuteFTP's web site says it can use SFTP (ssh's ftp-ish protocol, which can
preserve permissions). https://www.globalscape.com/cuteftp
I don't know CuteFTP but rsync definitely can. One of
its zillions of options.
The option is -p (permissions).
software package in the Solaris environment, I am not allowed to do
so. I am not allowed to use Python pip either. Strange rules ...
Not that odd in a corporate environment, I was still using
Python 1.3 in 2002 for similar reasons on one of our work
servers.
But there is a 50/5-0 chance the latest Solaris upgrade
will have included rsync.
Even if it hasn't, if you can mount a Solaris drive on your
PC then you can still use rsync from your PC (via cygwin).
Is that an option?
If he can mount a Solaris drive (NFS or SMB) he can just copy the files :-)
