Karlo,

I am pretty unfamiliar with what you are seeing, as I have
never encountered a file without an Owner after it has been
copied in over the network.

The normal behavior is for a new file to receive the default,
inheritable permissions as defined by the folder where it is
being stored, and it does not make a difference if the file is
being placed there locally or over the network.

You are obviously seeing something different, but, as I said,
I have not encountered that behavior.
