upload does not honor :mode or :permissions
Reported by Jay Reitz | May 8th, 2008 @ 11:45 AM
Upload does not honor the :mode option (deprecated but still allegedly supported) nor the :permissions option. No matter what mode is set the files are placed as 0644.
This is the case with both the sftp and scp strategies. Destination and source machines are debian etch with the standard open-ssh package installed.
upload("/tmp/test-file", "/tmp/test-file", :mode => 0600)
This is a regression from net-sftp-1.1.4 and capistrano-2.2.0.

I just committed a fix for this, in http://github.com/jamis/capistra.... Basically, if :mode exists, run("chmod") happens immediately after the upload to set the mode.
Eventually, it would be nice to patch net-sftp and net-scp to correctly handle this case, but it was trickier than you would expect and I didn't have the time to spend on it.

Thanks Jamis, that's a good and pragmatic workaround for the issue. I tried digging into where mode was going wrong but I got a bit confused myself.
