Title:
  Request addition of Fedora / Redhat "sftp-force-permissions" patch

Status in portable OpenSSH:
  Unknown
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in openssh package in Debian:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Fedora / Redhat ships openssh with a patch which adds "-m force
  permission" flag to sftp-server.

  This is quite a common feature request / support request on the
  various stackexchange sites -
  https://superuser.com/questions/332284/in-sftp-how-to-set-the-default-
  permission-for-all-files-in-a-folder

  You will see that someone has answered "add -m" there which is indeed
  the simplest answer by a distance but unfortunately it's a non
  standard patch:

  https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/openssh/blob/f34/f/openssh-6.7p1-sftp-
  force-permission.patch

  This I think should supersede #563216 because they have been shipping
  this in production presumably since at least 2015 (I see it in fedora
  22 branch), so it is a known stable patch compared to the one
  suggested there.
