How can I convert a chmod value like 755 so it fits in channelSftp setPermission(int permission, String path)?

I can’t figure it out. 🙁

EDIT:
Here it says I’m suppose to use a bitmask. But I’m not sure how that would be done either.

Permission perm = new Permission();
//set the permissions you want.
setPermission(perm.getDecimalCode(), path);

You can get the Permission class from here:
