When anyone puts files onto the ftp or http area at sourceforge can
can they make sure they are writable by group.

chmod g+rw <files>

By default only the user can write to them, and it's a bit of a pain if someone wants
to fix something.

Im a s guilty as everyone, and it's important to realise that subdirectories also need 
to have firebird group write permissions for people to write files into them.

(This probably explains why noone else used my ftp release sub directory ;-).
