Description gfernandez 2002-11-07 01:11:03 AEDT 
currently sftp does not attempt to preserve uid/gid on fetch.

If sftp is running as root, it could preserve uid/gid.

Note: a possible objection to implementing this was raised. Namely, whether 
uid/gid will make sense when sftp is being used in a cross platform case.

This is almost useless to most people, as there will be no correspondance
between remote [ug]ids and local ones. 

Future versions of the filexfer draft will add support for sending the user and
group names, which we'll support when we support that version of the protocol.
