The solution in the code would be the same - have one more flag in the
file context to ignore permission problems.  But the file operations is a
very dangerous place to touch.  Breakage in that code can result in lost
data.  So this will be done after the release.

On the other hand, I think it's OK to ignore chmod errors in ftpfs.  Could
you please try this patch:
