Hi.. I have a unix user account for example david, which has umask 0002 in

to transfer file into the box using the same username and password, the
transferred file will appear to have rw-r--r-- right in /home/david
folder. Why ??

That's the way ftp normally works, so it makes sense that sftp behaves
analogously. But try using the -P flag -- "get -P yerfile".
