What program do you use to transfer files? When you use samba you can specify
excatly what you want in smb.conf using the creation mask option:
[share]
  comment = test share
  path = /tmp
  browseable = yes
  create mask = 0770
  directory mask = 0770

Whenever you use unix standard tools like ftp/ssh you'll have to stick to
umask AFAIK; a umask value of 7 would come closest to this; files will
be -rw-rw--- and directories drwxrwx---

You can still execute your exe files from a windows share, if you're worried
about that.
