FlashFXP will read this in as 744

Technically, the permissions should be 0744.

This is not entirely true (from linux man page):

A numeric mode is from one to four octal digits (0-7), derived by adding up the bits with values 4, 2, and 1. Any omitted digits are assumed to be leading zeros.

What comes to setting 'sticky' bits (the missing octal), I see no reason to set them via ftp client.
