setting default permissions when creating directories on remote server

I looked for this topic but couldn't find an answer - my apologies if I've missed the obvious.

I've found where I can set permissions for files I upload. However, is there a way to set the permissions on directories I create on the remote server? Right now, directories I create default to 755. I would like to change that in the preferences for the session. Is that currently possible?

Default permissions for new directories cannot be set yet. You may change the permissions after you create it via Properties dialog.
