Paul -

This user find mirrordir used chmod even when forbidden.  Can the
chmod be avoided?

(I found two sections in mirrordir.c where mc_chmod is called whether
or not the user has set "--no-chmod", once near line 869 and again
near line 1593.  I attempted to add that check for the earlier case,
but was rewarded with a segfault.)

Hi!

First of all: Thank you for your work on mirrordir!

I have a single file in src. dst is empty. Then I ran:
$ echo mypassword | mirrordir --no-chmod --read-password-from-stdin \
./src ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dst

Even though --no-chmod is specified, SITE CHMOD was used. (See attached 
logfile, created with "tcpflow -C host ftp.example.org".)

This is a problem when connecting to hosts where chmod is disabled. (I 
am currently experiencing problems with a server that seems to crash 
when it receives SITE CHMOD. It doesn't even send a TCP ack.)

Best regards,
/Martin Leben
