I have tried doing so, but it hasn't worked. I am working with a remote
web host and I don't know much about the environment.

I have found that I can run "chmod 0644" on files, therefore
if there were a way to run this command after saving a file via Tramp,
that would could be a way to solve the problem, I think.
