Ownership on catalogs

[Matsaki]

I have a server with a community and are downloading / making backups to my local computer. But I have problems with the permissions on the new downloaded catalogs and files. I know my ownership on the server, but how do I find what ownership I have on my local computer so I can do a:

chown -R mylocal:mylocal downloaded stuff

?

ls -lias

How do you get the files? (ssh, gui, Finder, an ftp client..)

I pack them and FTP them down.
