In fact that's wrong. Although permissions are enforced by the ssh server, the server assumes that once a conncection is established, all requests on it are from the same originating user. The server is not able to check which user is accessing the files on the client machine - which is why Miklos wants/needs restrictive permissions on the client machine too.
