FTP based sync mechanisms

[Ken Smith]

Just in case we do proceed with the new requirements...

I would like to have a list of the FTP-based sync mechanisms that
handle the file permissions properly.  That would mean the files
that get created on the local system have the same permissions as
the upstream site, and when the permissions get changed on the
upstream site they get changed on the local system without triggering
a new file download.

If you're using a package that does this can you send me mail saying
what it is please?  The only package like this I have been using is
omi but I haven't had a chance to test it yet.  If you do have a
favorite package but you don't know if it handles the permissions
properly you can let me know that too - if necessary I can handle
doing some tests to see which ones work right.
