Pull request overview

This PR improves readability of SCP/SFTP permission handling by converting several file-mode and attribute bitmask literals from hexadecimal to their equivalent octal forms, aligning with how UNIX-style permission bits are typically expressed.

Changes:

  • Replaced hex permission constants (e.g., 0x124, 0x1ED, 0x41ED, 0x4000, 0x8000, 0x1FF) with equivalent octal literals (0444, 0755, 040755, 040000, 0100000, 0777) across SFTP/SCP code paths.
  • Updated a unit test to use the octal directory-bit check (040000).
  • Simplified the Microchip Harmony wChmod() read-only detection mask from hex to octal.
