A script I am working on is in a folder that is synchronized by Ubuntu One. Every time I edit it from another computer, it looses its executable bit and I must manually reapply chmod +x.
How can I avoid having to repeatedly set this?

2This sounds very much like a legitimate bug. You should see if it has been filed, and - if not - file it yourself.– Stefano PalazzoOct 20, 2010 at 10:01

I'd just assumed it was a security feature, albeit an annoying one.– ændrükOct 20, 2010 at 20:02

I was sure it was a security feature to prevent hacking of computers through Ubuntu One. Cause once you've cracked a Dropbox account with synced bin files I imagine there is very few you can't do to the synced computers. Anyway it should be a bug since it doesn't let the user choose...– sinekonataMay 16, 2013 at 16:23

Currently Ubuntu One does not sync metadata about files (last modified time, permissions). The biggest problem is that different systems store different metadata and those that do store similar metadata store it in different ways. There is a bug report you can comment on here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntuone-client/+bug/385511
