    ... we had an amazing sysadmin. He had a shell open on that box when I came to tell the news. He started to type quickly and thoughtfully, trying utilities I haven't even heard of. Then, he echoed a small C program that was supposed to set `x` on the chmod. Quickly he typed `cc x.c` to compile... and then it dawned on him.

      Perhaps scp -p or sshfs would have worked. This is just a guess. I am not certain.
