Description Maarten ter Huurne 2009-12-10 12:08:35 UTC 
Version:           3.3.3 (using KDE 4.3.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

I opened a file using an sftp:// URL. This file is a Python script with execute permissions set. When I saved the file, the contents were updated correctly, but the execute permissions were removed. I would expect the execute permissions to be preserved when a file is saved.

When I copy a script using Konqueror with an sftp:// URL, the execute permissions are preserved. So probably this problem originates in Kate rather than in the SFTP KIO slave.

Merging with bug 217342.

Also, you mentioned: "When I copy a script using Konqueror with an sftp:// URL, the execute permissions are preserved". Do you mean sftp->local or local->sftp (or sftp->sftp)? (Please reply to bug 217342 along with a brief summary of the observation; thanks.)
