The "rcp -p -r" command might be better for copying files back and forth if the machines are local and whatnot.

This is typical ftp behaviour. You can set the ftpd umask, but this is
known to be dangerous for various security reasons. You might look into the
'ncftp' program that is available for AIX and the PC. It is a little more
intelligent about files and directories and frankly has a better user
interface than the 'stock' ftp command.
cheers,
