1.  How did your friend create the tarball and how did you extract it?
If GNU tar and gzip is used on both ends, I believe permissions can/
should be preserved.  This is the best answer.

2.  Have your friend run 'ls -lR' on the preconfigured Drupal
installation and send you the output, then use 'chmod' to change your
files.  This is the labor-intensive answer.


HTH,
