SFTP Permissions driving me nuts!

OK, so I have to use SFTP to post my Web projects at work.

The login I have to the server is part of a group, so that should set the correct permissions by default when I upload something... but so far all the SFTPer's I've used (Transmit, Fugu, CyberDuck) have somehow overridden this on any document that I create on my mac then post... meaning I have to manually change the permissions on everything I create so that my group and others can view or edit or execute them.... sometimes hundreds of times a day I have to do this.

So, is there a SFTP app I've missed that will allow me to designate specific permissions for everything I post, or is there something I can do with my local settings and permissions to allow anyone to do whatever with the files I create? Can I add a new group name to the group list on my mac and become a part of that group?

What permissions do you mean - is the file being owned by the wrong group? Or are the permission bits wrong?

Its wierd, my login is definitely a member of a group, but when I post files, the group is correct, but the permissions are varied from program to program... but consistently overwritten wrong. The only program that lets you choose if you want to post-process permissions is cyberduck...but it wont let me specify.. I either have to set the permissions manually to all the files before I post, or after.

Interesting, I just tried the plain old sftp commandline client, and it retains the permissions of the local files.

I've just started using MacSFTP and it looks like it has the most robust options... allowing you to write specific permissions by default to all your uploads. Hopefully it will work.
