As was to be expected, applying a three year old patch involved
fiddling around a bit, in particular when the implementation has
added support for an additional protocol (sftp).  

The sftp code is based on (sophisticated?) guesswork and some manual
testing 8-)

The attribute only applies to downloading files, I don't know enough
about SSH or JSch to make it work the other way around.

I will note that there are enhancement requests to the effect of
chmod'ing remote files as well, which may be addressed together with
fixing the timestamp on the remote side.
