# you have two options.
#
# (1) as david suggested, use scp -p and set the permissions on the
# local side to be what you want on the remote side.
#
# (2) tweak your shell startup script(s) on the remote side (.profile or
# .cshrc or .bashrc or whatever) to set your umask there to something
# that will allow the mode to end up the way you want.  note that this
# won't *add* extra bits (so a 644 file will be at most 644 on the
# remote system), it will only subtract bits (so a 664 file going to a
# remote system with the umask set to 022 will end up as 644).

(3) (compile and) install rsync.  scp usually blows up on me when I do
a recursive copy.
