I am working on a script to transfer application code to multiple servers. I have actually got the Net::FTP::Recursive working using an 'rput' to transfer the code. The problem I am running into is I want to preserve the permission and ownership, however, these are NOT being preserved. The ownership is changing to the ftp account used for the transfer, and the permissions are being changed to 640 for files and 750 for directories.

I am afraid that this is a very stupid question, but I am under the gun on time for this and really need to get rolling again. Thanks in advance. What I am really hoping for is a transfer mode or switch to preserve file permissions and ownership. Anyone know of if such a beast exists?
