Hi,
i wonder how i can preserve file permission and ownerships of my wiki 
when trying to do a backup and restore, only having a ftp account?

I found [1-3] discussing backup and restore, but could not understand 
how these scripts handle the permissions. As far as I know, zip files 
don't recognize file permissions. When using wget on windows permissions 
are also lost. Even when i use ncftp or other ftp commandline tools 
under linux for downloading, the permissions will change when uploading.

Perhaps you can help me to find a suitable way to do the "restore" thing 
of backup.

Thanks
Manfred
