You mean an sshd upgrade as well. That is your problem.

I am assuming something that conforms to openSSH.

The destination node (server) sets the permissions. SFTP_UMASK is an environment variable that you can add to the sshd process on the server. It does what you think - changes permissions for sftp operations. ssh_config may have a SftpUmask setting as well. I DO NOT KNOW if this affects scp.

1. try changing ssh_config to see if it impacts what you need. Every sshd node needs this change.
2. switch to sftp, SFTP_UMASK ....I know it is a code change.
3. use scp -p ... this is a code change too.

Without getting help from your OS provider, 1, 2, 3 are pretty much your choices. The only one I know above that works is scp -p.

Maybe someone else knows a workaround.

Your choice.

sftp-server(1M)                                           System Administration Commands                                           sftp-server(1M)

NAME

       sftp-server - SFTP server subsystem

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

DESCRIPTION

       sftp-server implements the server side of the SSH File Transfer Protocol as defined in the IETF draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer.

       sftp-server is a subsystem for sshd(1M) and must not be run directly. There are no options or config settings.

       To enable the sftp-server subsystem for sshd add the following to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

       Subsystem   sftp     /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

       See sshd_config(4) for a description of the format and contents of that file.

       There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0        Successful completion.

       >0       An error occurred.

FILES

       /usr/lib/sftp-server
