<p>Well, Geany does not do any remote operations, it only accesses local files.  So you have set up something else that does the remote operations, but you havn't said what or how.</p>
<p>The wiki article referenced above describes that actual file operations performed by each of the saving methods, and notes that some create new files, which would get the default metadata for new files, and that may include a different group from that of the original.</p>
<p>Without knowing how you do your remote access it not possible to suggest which may work better than the others, but in the end its a function of that setup, not Geany.</p>
