Well, we'll have to implement it first, before we'll know if it is
performance visible. I agree that if there is a heavy penalty, we'll
need to do something about it. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.

It would be nice if we could just send the chmod request without having
to wait for the ACK. Especially since this is being done by 'put', it
seems like there is going to be an entire file being uploaded, that the
overhead of adding a chmod to it should be minimal.

Robey- As our resident sftp expert :) is there a way that we could do
something like that? Is that what setting pipelining should do?
