First, please reply to the list so others get the benefit of the
exchange.
Second, please quote what you are replying to, so that I and others know
what you are talking about.
Most file transfer protocols will refuse to set the execute permission
bit on a transferred file, as a security measure. So after you pull in
an executable, you have to set the appropriate execute bit(s) to make it
possible to run it. E.g.:
chmod u+x file
So the answer to my question is, yes.
