Oh, I should add to my own comment -
> So, SCP gets you (777 minus profile:umask) unless you use scp -p.

The -p of course sets the permissions to what they were on the source
file, ignoring user UMASK (subject probably to the SYSTEM umask?).
Per man scp,
    -p      Preserves modification times, access times, and modes
            from the original file.
Note that -o lets you set any .ssh/config parameter on scp
commandline.
