    I would like to set up permissions such that:

    -I have a collection of user accounts that can upload to their home directories only
    -I have an administrative account that can traverse users' directories, read, write, and delete

    Though my NTFS permissions are set this way, when a user uploads there is a default file permission whereby they are the owner, and noone else can delete files, even the system administrator.

    Is there a umask setting or something that I can set so that uploaded files will inherit the ntfs permissions of their parent folders?

      We had issues with our UNIX server in exactly the same fashion when we converted to using SFTP for our web server. We had to update the version of OpenSSH so it would honor the umask settings.

      Are you still, or anyone else had this problem with this windows version?

      Thanks!
