fpxfer export to a file - permissions/ownership

The usual problem; fpxfer makes a file no one can read, and I'd prefer
not to give out lots of permissions I don't have to .. and the menu item 
from which it's called is (of course) running as the user, cause runmenu
isn't setuid.

And in my history, I remember "fixing" that, and finding out why it's like
that, so I won't do it again.

That said, is there a standard method for, at least, specifying looser
permissions to fpxfer for the file it creates?  Does it respect umask?

Cheers,
