I'm very new to lftp, so forgive my ignorance.
I just ran a dry run of my lftp script, which consists basically of a line like this: mirror -Rv -x regexp --only-existing --only-newer --dry-run /local/root/dir /remote/dir
When it prints what it's going to do, it wants to chmod a bunch of files - files which I grabbed from svn, never modified, and which should be identical to the ones on the server.
My local machine is Ubuntu, and the remote is a Windows server. I have a few questions:
Many thanks!

lftp command has a builtin mirror which can download or update a whole directory tree. There is also a reverse mirror (mirror -R) which uploads or updates a directory tree on the server. The mirror can also synchronize directories between two remote servers, using FXP if available.
lftp is a file transfer program that allows sophisticated ftp, http and other connections to other hosts. If site is specified then lftp will connect to that site otherwise a connection has to be established with the open command.
lftp is a command-line program client for several file transfer protocols. lftp is designed for Unix and Unix-like operating systems. It was developed by Alexander Lukyanov, and is distributed under the GNU General Public License.
You can launch lftp by typing just lftp and then using an open command to take you to your target site or you can provide the target's name on the same line as lftp like I did.
Use the -p option and it shouldn't try to change permissions. I've never sent to a windows host, but you are correct in that it shouldn't do anything to the permission levels on the windows box.
