There's  still a  problem with  (s)ftp: As  far as  I know,  you can't
change  the  default permissions  on  the  server  unless you  are  an
administrator of that server. (or if you patch your client)

(s)ftp protocol has  a umask and a chmod command.  having tla use them
would greatly  simplify the task  for people setting up  a centralized
archive.
