All files created via SFTP (and FTP) are immutable files. However, files

If SFTP is used to write to an existing mutable file, it will publish a
new version when the file handle is closed.
== Known Issues ==
Mutable files are not supported by the FTP frontend (ticket #680). Currently,
a directory containing mutable files cannot even be listed over FTP.
The FTP frontend sometimes fails to report errors, for example if an upload
fails because it does meet the "servers of happiness" threshold (ticket #1081).
Upload errors also may not be reported when writing files using SFTP via sshfs
(ticket #1059).
Non-ASCII filenames are not supported by FTP (ticket #682). They can be used
with SFTP only if the client encodes filenames as UTF-8 (ticket #1089).
The gateway node may incur a memory leak when accessing many files via SFTP
(ticket #1045).
