Hi,

Yes, I'm sure, 'cause before it was on 644, after my change 000 really
works while I'm using the bash by commandline.
The curious thing is, that only for copied files on any scp
application (independent from the OS, Linux, Windows, etc.) app. the
files gets the above permissions :-(

Best regards, 

Duncan
