write-only file system

[BROWNH]

I would like to copy files from a linux directory to another that I have
mounted, but the target directory happens to be HPFS. For that reason, I
can't run chmod on it.

I assume I'm stuck, but would I have better luck if I created a DOS partition
and then mounted it? o
Or is there someway I might FTP the files from the
ext2 partition to the HPFS partition? I have no difficulty copying files 
from that HPFS partition to an ext2 partition, of course.
