You can't avoid this. It's the way the server has been configured. They do this in order to avoid security risks.

PortaMx is probably the best SMF portal!

agent47 is right as far as I know, usually when you transfer files to a server using FTP, the permissions will be defaulted to something (the file owner will change, and you can't have files that have no owner or permissions set at all) and so you can not really keep permissions untouched if you move files from one server to another.
