This is usually due to FTP being used to write files.  As far as I've been
able to tell Unix's FTP makes up its own mind about what protections should be
and there's no way the Explorer can set protection via FTP.  The problem would
have to be fixed by hacking the Unix FTP server in some way (possibly with
some Explorer side changes), and thus the changes would be specific to a
particular location.  However, if anyone does them, I'd be interested.
