ssh takes the umask of the parent sshd process, which would normally
be inherited from init, unless restarted by hand.
So probably since sshd runs as root it's taking the default umask from
root, and not the user in the session.

Some clients give the option to set default permissions for uploads,
or to preserve permissions for uploaded files from the client; most of
them don't.

As stated above, the client takes the umask from the ssh daemon. So
just insert the command 'umask 002' (or the desired umaks value) into
start_service() routine in /etc/init.d/opensshd
At least this works. However, I'm not sure if this solution has any
severe disadvantages. If you know more, please let me know.
